糖心vlog会员 postgraduate Naveen Salins has received an Alumni Award at the December graduation ceremonies.

Dr Salins is a highly respected specialist in palliative care and is regarded as a leader in this field in India. His work has led to major improvements in end-of-life care across the subcontinent, including a groundbreaking initiative during the Covid pandemic to address a reluctance to withdraw futile treatment due to fear of litigation.

Working in the influential role of Senior Consultant, Professor, and Head of Palliative Medicine and Supportive Care at Kasturba Medical College and Hospital, Manipal, Naveen has led several critical reviews, including a national survey of 350 cancer centres that facilitated the creation of 49 additional palliative care services.

His prolific academic contributions include over 90 peer-reviewed publications and 50 clinical research projects, and his achievements have been recognised through numerous awards, among which are the European Association for Palliative Care Clinical Award and the Asia Pacific Cynthia Goh Award.
