Summary

In a significant move on World Health Day, the Indian Medical Association (IMA) has launched "Little Stars," a comprehensive paediatric palliative care scheme. This vital initiative is slated for implementation across all districts, aiming to extend crucial support to children in need.
The "Little Stars" program is uniquely funded through donations from doctors, underscoring a strong sense of professional responsibility and compassion. The goal is to provide palliative care and support, making a tangible difference in the lives of young patients.
Demonstrating the scheme's immediate impact, financial assistance was recently handed over to children at Government Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram. This event, attended by IMA vice-president R.C. Sreekumar, marks the official commencement of the program's on-ground operations.
