Meet Dr. Sunil Dhiliwal: A Mumbai Doctor’s Journey in Palliative Care

Behind every strong home-care service is a deep commitment to people. In a Doctor’s Day feature, Mumbai-based physician Dr. Sunil Dhiliwal shared his professional journey — a story rooted in the belief that comfort, dignity and compassion belong at the centre of medicine.

A career devoted to comfort and dignity

Dr. Dhiliwal has spent his career in palliative medicine, working to ensure that patients living with serious and life-limiting illness receive not only skilled clinical care but also the emotional and human support they and their families need. His work spans hospital-based and home-based settings, with a particular focus on bringing expert care directly into patients’ homes across Mumbai.

Why home-based palliative care

Much of Dr. Dhiliwal’s contribution has centred on building and studying home-based palliative care services — from developing structured care models and triage systems to exploring how technology can support teams in the field. This body of work reflects a simple conviction: that wherever possible, people should be able to receive expert, compassionate care in the place they feel most at home.

Inspiration behind Carenza’s approach

Stories like Dr. Dhiliwal’s are a reminder of why home healthcare matters so deeply. The same values that guide his journey — expertise paired with empathy, and care that treats the whole person — are the values that inspire our work at Carenza. We are proud to share his story and to carry forward this vision of caring for patients and families with skill and heart.
