About

MHRC

The Manipal Hospice and Respite Centre, or MHRC, is a pioneering initiative committed to providing high-quality palliative, end-of-life care, and respite care to individuals with life-limiting illnesses. Embedded within the Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) ecosystem, our Centre integrates clinical excellence, interdisciplinary education, psychosocial support, and ethical stewardship in the care of patients and their families. 

Key Highlights


  • One of India’s largest hospices and the country’s only university-linked hospice, offering free palliative care for cancer and non-cancer illnesses while integrating clinical care, education, training, and research, supported by a specialist palliative care team providing 24×7 evidence-based, protocol-driven medical care focused on quality, safety, comfort, and dignity.
  • A serene 12-acre landscaped campus with courtyards, natural light, fresh air, and traditional Udupi-inspired architecture, along with a barrier-free, disability-friendly design featuring wide corridors and easy movement for wheelchairs and hospital beds.
  • A caring, peaceful, familiar, and home like environment where life continues to be celebrated through birthdays, festivals, family gatherings, and meaningful moments.
