Dr. M. R. Rajagopal is a Nobel Peace Prize nominee who is widely considered to be the “Father of Palliative Care” in India. The film explores the life story of this acclaimed physician in a compelling tale that brings to light the realities of providing health care to the world’s most populous democratic society. ‘Hippocratic’ reveals the challenges of delivering health care in low-resource settings, the tragedy of unnecessary suffering, but also the opportunity and empowerment of delivering ethical, whole-person care through a grassroots movement. Dr. Rajagopal himself will attend the screening.
