Who We Are

The Jimmy S Bilimoria Foundation is a charitable trust registered on 30 March 2015 under the Maharashtra Public Trust Act 1950.

The foundation’s service is called PALCARE.

It was set up after the Bilimoria family saw how important it was to get medical and psycho-social help during the last phase of the life of the gentleman by the same name as the foundation.

It was then that they felt the need to set up a service so that others after him would not need to face the same challenges.

They approached Mr. Ratan Tata who readily agreed to help set up the Foundation through the Tata Trusts.

On 1 December 2015, PALCARE registered its first patient and there has been no looking back since. PALCARE looks after 700 to 800 patients each year. At any given point of time PALCARE manages around 250 plus patients – all in the comfort of their homes.

PALCARE’s patients come from all socio-economic groups and all walks of life. And the service is 100% free.

We are governed by an accomplished Board of Trustees and an impeccable Advisory Board. Our medical team is highly trained in palliative medicine, dedicated to the task and committed to the cause. They come with a caring heart, as palliative care is a field for healthcare professionals with deep compassion.
