The St. Elizabeth Sick Shelter provides free or low-cost medical care to the poorest communities in four provinces of Phnom Penh, Cambodia. With the coordination of PIME Missionary Fr. Gianluca Tavola, the Shelter supports patients with chronic and terminal illnesses through: inpatient care, medicines, lab examinations, x-rays and other testing, as well as mobile outreach (in which doctors travel to patients), and homebased palliative care delivered with dignity and compassion.
Thanks to the generosity of PIME MDP Medical Fund supporters, the Shelter was able to purchase a new, reliable vehicle to strengthen its outreach program. The Shelter received the $27,778 needed to replace an old vehicle allowing doctors to continue reaching vulnerable patients in outlying areas for emergency and regular medical consultation, as well as end of life care. Thank you for your support of PIME’s MDP Medical Fund!
