Hospice care providers in the Middle East.

Al-Malath Foundation is a non-profit non-governmental organization established in Jordan in 1993 as the first hospice care provider in the Middle East.

Al-Malath Foundation provides a Free-of-Charge hospice care service to patients and their families from various socio-economic backgrounds inside Amman and its outskirts.

Services provided by Al-Malath include social, psychological, nursing, medical support and bereavement counseling to patients and their families.

The journey of Al-Malath began when a group of women experienced difficult times caring for their family members who were terminally ill cancer patients and were discharged from the hospital to spend their last days at home without any medical or emotional care.

In 1992, they started exploring options to meet the essential needs of terminally ill patients and their families focusing on a unique model of hospice care that stems from our culture.

Services:

Individuals who have a life limiting illness, with a prognosis of six months or less and are no longer seeking treatment are eligible for Al-Malath Hospice service. Services of Al-Malath are provided by highly competent and trained caregivers including a physician, nurses, and social workers.

Impact:
