Abstract
The burden of neurologic disease is substantial and rising worldwide. India is no exception. These illnesses cause prolonged disability and distress for the patient, family and community. Palliative care (PC) is an approach that focuses on providing relief from suffering. Till about two decades ago, PC was largely restricted to oncology but there is now a growing community of healthcare providers and others, working to incorporate the same principles in the care of our patients, through the International Neuropalliative Care Society (INPCS). This paper outlines the evolution of this new subspecialty and the knowledge and skill sets required to practice it. Education and research priorities are important and are also discussed.
