Five-year-old Akarsh has an aggressive brain tumour that is likely to cut short his young life. He came to  Subhita, CanKids Pediatric Palliative Care Center (PPCC) when doctors at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) said that he had slim chances of survival. Three months later, after end-of-life care at PPCC, he returned home.

“Nobody has tutored Lalla but he often says that God will come to take him away,” said his distraught mother Reena Devi when I met her at PPCC.
