Shanti Avedna Sadan is India’s first Hospice, an institution that takes care of the advanced terminally ill Cancer patients. It is neither a hospital nor a home, but is in fact both, offering the specialized care of a hospital together with the love and care of a home.

Shanti means peace, Avedna signifies absence of Pain and Sadan is a home. Shanti Avedna Sadan literally means “Peace in the absence of pain”. The Logo makes use of a quote from St.Augustine: “Where there is love, there is no pain” and it goes on to say “if there is pain, it is a pain that is loved!”
