Kasih Hospice hopes to maintain their care and quality of life in the time they have left. theSun theSundaily shave Kasih Hospice volunteer
Nearly 40 people from various walks of life volunteered to shave their heads for a good cause at the Kasih Hospice Foundation recently.
Kasih Hospice Foundation president and director Datuk Dr Goh Pik Pin said the campaign was its first public event after the movement control order was lifted. She said the foundation is an NGO with a “not-for-profit philosophy” that provides free services to nearly 1,000 patients annually. Its main objective is to provide hospice care for free to patients, who are in the final stage of these illnesses.“It costs RM300 on average for home visits, or RM1.7 million annually to provide free services, which includes doctors and nurses visiting patients at their homes to manage their pain and other physical symptoms.
“By doing all these things and sometimes more, we aim to ensure patients’ comfort to live the best possible quality of life for whatever time remains. Our team also provides bereavement support to families after the passing of the patient.”
