The website of Golden Butterflies Children’s Palliative Care Foundation, a not-for-profit, public charitable trust, was launched by Dr. Malini Parthasarathy, Chairperson, The Hindu Group Publishing Pvt. Ltd, on Friday.
She praised the idea of developing the website www.goldenbutterflies.in to connect with child-patients and caregivers virtually.
