Need and challenges of palliative care in tribal people: a qualitative analysis
This study highlights the significance of palliative care for tribal populations. There is an increased need for palliative care, accompanied by challenges with receiving it in a culturally acceptable and sensitive manner. Developing a hybrid healthcare approach that integrates both traditional and modern medications exclusively for tribes is essential. The tribal population requires support in accessing comprehensive palliative care services from various professionals. It is crucial to establish healthcare programs aimed at addressing the entire healthcare needs of the tribal populations.
