Dear Editor,Head and Neck Cancers (HNC) constituted 5.7% of global cancer-related mortality, an estimated 67% of cases, and 82% of HNC deaths occurred in low-and middleincome countries (LMIC). 1 HNC patients have multiple, unique, and challenging symptoms such as xerostomia, taste disturbances, dietary restrictions, dysphagia, pain, fatigue, permanent disfigurement, and infirmity. 2 Since the disease and its treatments result in a huge burden of mortality and morbidity, these HNC patients require a multidisciplinary approach along with trimodality therapy. 3 Therefore, patients with HNC are a group in whom Palliative Care (PC) is of paramount importance that specifically aims to improve the Quality of Life (QoL) of patients and their carer givers. In a nationwide sample from the National Cancer Database, United States of patients with HNC, the authors found increases in the use of palliative care services in recent years however it was not consistent throughout each region. 4 A scoping literature review suggests that only 18% to 21% of all people with HNC received palliative management following diagnosis. 5 In India, less than 2% of those needing palliative care receive it, with no data specific to HNC patients. 6 A systematic review demonstrated the effectiveness of home-based PC over hospital-based PC which involves doorstep provision of holistic care usually by a multidisciplinary team. 7 Kerala, the Southern state of India developed a sustainable unique home care model in the service delivery of PC through the community-based approach which gained worldwide recognition, especially in developing countries over the years. 8 A recent study evaluated that uninterrupted patient services, economic self-sufficiency, and volunteering efforts contributed to the overall sustainability of the model. Further, it was suggested that replication of the Kerala model for home-based PC be considered taking into account the sociological, geopolitical, and specific needs of similar LMICs. 9 Public health dentist (PHD) is a specialist in community dental health, working to prevent and control dental diseases and promoting the dental health of the community using group
