  • Our Impact

    When we started work in 1992 there was no hospice care available to terminally ill cancer patients in Romania. We have transformed this by introducing hospices which demonstrate best practice in hospice care and which train medical professionals across the region. Our work led to the introduction of morphine based medicines in Romania- a major advance in hospice care treatment.
