Training in Palliative Care for the complete healthcare and wellness of individuals is one of the unique initiatives by the ELCK Mission Team. The team trained Community Health Volunteers and Church Leaders in partnership with Salama Cancer Centre and Anaweza Organization to create a healing community. All participants were trained by resource persons and took some sessions. Pastors were also trained on how palliative care integrates spiritual care as part of the biopsychosocial-spiritual model of care, where all members of the team provide compassionate presence, empathic listening, and respect for the patient’s religious and spiritual values through holistic, person-centred care and compassionate presence within professional competencies
