Indigenous leader Raoni receives palliative care in Brazil after cancer diagnosis
Doctors chose palliative care for the 94-year-old Indigenous leader to manage pain and symptoms while keeping him close to family and traditional healers.
- On Monday, the Raoni Institute announced that 94-year-old Renowned Indigenous Chief Raoni Metuktire is receiving palliative care at home in the Brazilian heartland after a cancer diagnosis.
- Doctors confirmed the cancer in his digestive system following a June hospitalization in Sao Paulo for a severe intestinal obstruction caused by an advanced-stage tumor.
