Hinduism is one of the five major world religions with >1 billion followers worldwide and encompasses a diversity of belief systems. As of 2010, an estimated 1.8 million Hindus lived in the United States, and this number is expected to increase to 4.8 million by 2050, making the United States home to the largest Hindu population outside of South Asia. As this population continues to grow, it will become increasingly important that clinicians of all disciplines develop a basic understanding of their beliefs and practices to address their palliative care needs. This article highlights 10 considerations for Hindu patients and their families relevant to inpatient care, symptom management, and advance care planning.
