Shanthallaya is a 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 of a home.

Hospice care is mainly focused on the basic principle that the person who suffers from a life limiting illness is still a living person with physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs. Our aim is to address those needs and provide a supportive and safe environment.
