Jain spiritual care in hospitals
In the UK, the association between religion and the care of the sick goes back hundreds of years.
​
Jaymanbhai Mehta, one of our Committee Members, has kindly written an article on End of Life Care.
Please read the article, to gain a greater insight on the type of care expected by patients in their final
stages of their life.
​
Additionally, Heena Modi has produced a useful toolkit on Death: what to do and how to manage.
Hope you find this useful.
​
Please do the following when providing spiriual care in hospital:
-
Identify your faith/religion as Jain.
-
Insist to be recorded as a Jain.
-
Do not allow to record as any religion other than Jain.
-
Ask nursing staff to call a 'Jain Spiritual carer' to your bedside for Jain religious sermons.
