Comboni Missionaries in Sudan. Palliative care volunteer training in Port Sudan

Monday, April 8, 2024
The nursing team of the Comboni College of Science and Technology has started training 50 volunteers who will accompany people with terminal and chronic illnesses in the community once they have completed the training. The first training session took place at the Al-Wifaq Health Center, located at the Parish Center at Philip neighbourhood and near the Comboni Philip School, rehabilitated in 2022, thanks to a project executed by the Associazione Italiana per la Solidarietà tra i Popoli (AISPO – Italian Association for Solidarity among Peoples, a non-governmental organisation linked to the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan) and financed by the Agenzia Italiana per la Cooperazione allo Sviluppo (AICS – Italian Agency for Development Cooperation).

The training programme, which is still ongoing, is a collaboration between the Comboni College of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Health of the Red Sea State, the Italian NGO AISPO (head of the project), AICS, and the Catholic Parish of Port Sudan.
