Funding Palliative Care for Cancer Patients in El Salvador

This year, Old Saint Paul’s has donated £750 to the Divine Providence Cancer Hospital, San Salvador, to pay for palliative care for patients approaching death.

Founded by the Carmelite Missionary Sister Luz Isabel Cuevas, the hospital is an efficient and deeply caring hospital, run on a shoestring, which survives through the generosity of benefactors. The Sisters care for all ages, from very young children to the elderly. Within the hospital, they have created an atmosphere of warmth and hope where many patients find peace in their last days. The Sisters are dedicated, immensely hard-working, practical, humorous, and utterly committed to their profession and to the Gospel which inspires them.

The £750 donated by Old Saint Paul’s has since been matched by donations from other sources, and the money raised to date will pay for nearly 400 hours of palliative care for some of the region’s poorest and most marginalised people.
