Your donations have helped transform the life of Patient M, a 30 year old married woman with two girls. She has HIV and colorectal cancer for which she has had surgery and the formation of a colostomy. She was suffering from the worst possible rectum pain, with a foul smelling wound on her bottom, anxiety, sadness, poor sleeping, and a poor appetite. She used to survive by doing daily labour work and her husband the same. She became bankrupt when bedridden and suffered a lack of adequate food for her and her family. Her husband was struggling to taking care of her because of the bad smell, lack of his nursing skills and lack of wound dressing materials.
The Hospice Ethiopia nurse has seen M in her home and delivered holistic care and support (after a thorough assessment) including pain management, wound care, psychological support, financial support (Comfort Fund), food support, gauze and solution for wound care and has taught M’s husband how to care for her wound.
