After her diagnosis with cancer Lopika was referred for palliative care at Bhaktapur Cancer Hospital. There she was treated for her pain and provided with the specialized care she needed.
It took months for Lopika to get to a local hospital, and many visits to hospitals in Kathmandu far from her home, to learn what caused her stomach pains.
It’s why our partners in Nepal are building capacity for cancer care, and palliative and end-of-life care.The ability to provide this specialized care is a success story in a country where the diagnosis of life-limiting illness comes when disease is often in advanced stages.
Your support of Two Worlds Cancer Collaboration via GlobalGiving means that healthcare providers are trained in the specialized, compassionate care that patients,like Lopika, and their families need.
