PENANG Pure Lotus Hospice of Compassion, which focuses on providing end-of-life care, is hoping to raise RM10mil to build a new centre.

It cares for end-stage cancer patients who are poor or single with no caregivers or place to stay but the organisation wants to expand access to those facing other terminal conditions.
