Abstract
Disclosure of diagnosis is a challenge for health care
providers in India. (1) There is preference towards a family
centred decision making in favour of a patient-centred
process. Various socio-cultural factors are then at play in a
doctor-patient interaction in India. With family playing a
significant role in healthcare decisions, there is often
collusion between the doctor and the family to withhold
information from the patient.(2)
