We believe that this is the most crucial stage in a patient’s life, when he or she has suddenly lost the security and comfort of a hospital, since no further treatment is possible.  The trauma of losing medical support, added to the fear of death cannot be easily described. The entire burden of care, now rests with the families, who are more often than not are ill equipped financially and emotionally, to deal with the situation.  It is at this stage that all human beings, rich or poor, deserve the peace and dignity that are so essential before the inevitable end comes. Our aim at Karunashraya is to give this much needed solace and dignity to advanced stage cancer patients. 

It is against this background the BHT came into being.  It is jointly set up by the Indian Cancer Society (Karnataka chapter) and the Rotary Bangalore Indiranagar. BHT is successfully in its 21th year of operation of the In-patient facility, and the 25th year of operation for the Home Care Facility. Till date we have cared for more than 25,000 patients. During this period our team of dedicated professionals, have come a long way in achieving our objective: to put it simply, to alleviate pain- physical, psychological and spiritual, the severe damage that terminal cancer can wreck, not only on the patient but on their near and dear ones as well. 

To this end, we have a 73 bed 'In-Patient' facility, where patients are admitted free of charge, irrespective of caste, creed, age, gender, religion, or economic backgrounds. In addition to the above, we have a Home Care Service, which has completed 25 years of work. A dedicated team visits the homes of advanced stage cancer patients, care for them, guide the families on patient care, and provide emotional support to them. If the team feels that the patient needs the care of the in-patient facility, the same is recommended. 
All our services are entirely free of charge.
