Palliative Care
Vision and Approach
Our palliative care program is led by Dr. Gloria Wafula, one of the few formally trained palliative care specialists in the region. Through her leadership, we bring comfort, dignity, and medical expertise to patients and families facing serious or life-limiting illness.
Our approach is built on home visits and community-centered care. We travel to remote and underserved areas, reaching patients in their homes where access to formal health facilities is difficult or impossible.
Our teams provide pain management, symptom control, and essential medications, along with psychosocial support for both patients and caregivers. For patients who would otherwise suffer without relief, this care ensures no one is left behind because of distance or cost.
Palliative care runs year-round, not only during visits. Dr. Wafula and the in-country team maintain continuity for patients between deployments, following complex cases and ensuring care does not stop when a trip ends.
