Hospice gets vital equipment - 20.04.2012
The North East Point hospice has received two new
pieces of equipment which will be of great benefit in the treatment of
patients.
Handing over the donation to the principal secretary for health Veronique Laporte, Dr Todorovic said further support will be given to the terminally ill patients at the hospice and to help deliver better care.
Dr Todorovic thanked Victoria Rotary Club for contributing towards this cause.
On behalf of the Ministry of Health, Miss Laporte thanked the two partners for their contribution.
Miss Laporte said there is a need to enhance cooperation in other aspects such as training of staff.
She added that this donation is a good example of how private sector and individuals in the society can contribute towards those in need.
Present at the hand-over were chief nursing officer Bella Henderson, staff of the hospice and members of the club.
Local nurses will also benefit from the common effort of the Serbia’s Consulate and the Victoria Rotary Club through a five-day workshop in early June
This is expected to be led by a professor specialised in terminal care, Dr Natasha Milicevic, from Belgrade, Serbia.
Dr Todorovic is currently in Seychelles on a working visit to also discuss cooperation between the Ministry of Health and his hospital in Mauritius, as well as other existing opportunities.
