Webinar #174
“Malubhang Sakit, Pwede Bang Alagaan sa Bahay?”
Providing Palliative Care at Home

In a world where healthcare often revolves around curing ailments, we invite you to explore a realm of compassionate care that transcends boundaries – Palliative and Hospice Care.

The Philippines, with its unique blend of cultural diversity and a healthcare landscape in constant evolution, presents a dynamic backdrop for this discussion. Palliative and hospice care, often regarded as the epitome of compassion in healthcare, focuses on enhancing the quality of life for individuals facing life-limiting illnesses. In the Philippine context, where familial bonds and cultural values are paramount, the significance of such care is even more pronounced.

Our distinguished panel of speakers comprises trailblazers in the field, each with a wealth of experience in navigating the complexities of palliative and hospice care within the Philippine context. Together, we will explore cultural sensitivities, ethical considerations, and practical approaches that can elevate the standard of care for those navigating the final chapters of their lives.

Our main presenter is Dr. Andrew E. Ang, who is the Chief of the Division of Supportive, Hospice, and Palliative Medicine from the Department of Family and Community Medicine of the UP-Philippine General Hospital while our reactor is Dr. Karin V. Estepa-Garcia, who is the Immediate Past President of the Philippine Society of Hospice and Palliative Medicine and also the current Chair of the UP-PGH Department of Family and Community Medicine. The Synthesis and Closing Remarks will be delivered by Dr. Stella Marie L. Jose, who is the Head of the Office of Expanded Education and Training at the UP Philippine General Hospital.

Join us in this compassionate journey and let us collectively strive to build a healthcare landscape that not only heals but also comforts, ensuring that every individual, regardless of their health condition, receives the dignity and support they deserve. Together, let’s illuminate the path towards a more compassionate and holistic approach to healthcare in the Philippines.

Together, we can stop preventable deaths!
