Today, the challenges for children and adults facing cancer in Sri Lanka continue amid continued economic turmoil and fuel scarcity. For many, travel over long distance for treatment such as chemotherapy or even to obtain pain relief medication remains very difficult. Hospitals and clinics continue to face shortages of medication and supplies.
Through the generosity of GlobalGiving donors our partner organizations – CANE Hospice, Teaching Hospital Jaffna and the Patient Welfare Society Hospital Thelippalai – have managed to obtain small supplies of basic medications and for both children and adults. These essential medications mean patients can receive pain relief and palliative care.
Through your generous donations, those children and adults who can reach care have access to needed pain medication. You are helping ease the suffering of those in need of such essential care.
Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
If you donate to this project or have donated to this project, you can receive an email when this project posts a report. You can also subscribe for reports without donating.
