Dean Foundation has been directly involved in numerous activities to increase accessibility to palliative care in India. Along with the State government of Tamil Nadu, the Trust was instrumental in amending the Narcotics Act of the State of Tamil Nadu on December 2000. This made Oral Morphine widely available to the doctors in Tamil Nadu, which was crucial in ensuring the relief of patients with terminal illnesses.
Under this new amendment, the Dean Foundation became the first Recognized Medical Institution in the State of Tamil Nadu. This was particularly impressive as the Dean Foundation was only eighteen months old at the time.

Famous quotes containing the words achievements and and/or achievements:
“Fathers are still considered the most important “doers” in our culture, and in most families they are that. Girls see them as the family authorities on careers, and so fathers’ encouragement and counsel is important to them. When fathers don’t take their daughters’ achievements and plans seriously, girls sometimes have trouble taking themselves seriously.”
