Helping and accompanying terminally ill children in Costa Rica
The situation of many children, who are suffering from serious illnesses or are in a terminal state, is made worse when the patients have a difficult home environment, with scarce economic resources, low educational levels and dysfunctional factors such as violence within the family or drug addiction. The shelter project Albergue San Gabriel Shelter of the Fundación Pro Unidad de Cuidado Paliativo is concerned with improving the quality of life for 2750 patients.
