It is always heartbreaking for parents when a child is terminally ill, hence the importance of hospice care to make their time together comfortable and meaningful. With that in mind, the first Children’s Hospice Centre in Malaysia, which has been five years in the making, was launched on Jun 17, to provide dedicated hospice support for children with life-threatening illnesses.

To support the venture, St Joseph’s Institution International School Malaysia (SJIIM) Tropicana PJ Campus collaborated with Malaysian Association of Paediatric Palliative Care (MAPPAC) to raise funds to purchase essential drugs and medical equipment for the hospice centre.
