About – ASPAC
ABOUT US
Assisi Palliative Care Berhad (ASPAC) is a charitable organisation governed by a Board of Directors, providing FREE professional palliative care services to the community. We are based at No. 49. Jalan Railway, 1/2 , Petaling Jaya, 46000 Selangor, Malaysia and our objective is to provide skilled, compassionate palliative care to ameliorate symptoms and relieve suffering; thereby improving the quality of life for patients and families.
ASPAC was incorporated in 2015 and is a company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital. Most of our referrals come from public hospitals and consist primarily of adult patients with advanced cancer. However, we are increasingly receiving referrals of patients with non-cancer illnesses (e.g. Motor Neurone Disease, Advanced Dementia, End stage Organ failure). There is also a growing number of children being referred for paediatric palliative care.
The team consists of doctors, nurses, a grief counsellor, a dispenser and volunteers. We strive to meet the patients’ physical, emotional, spiritual and practical needs. We also loan out medical equipment such as hospital beds, oxygen concentrators, wheelchairs; and we supply medications as and when they are available to us.
ASPAC runs periodic training programmes for healthcare professionals, volunteers and the community. We believe that continuous professional development is important for staff to deliver skilled palliative care in a holistic manner.
We accept medical students and other undergraduates from various universities and colleges for short attachment postings when possible. Our medical advisors are senior Palliative Medicine consultants from University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC), Kuala Lumpur which is a premier teaching hospital for undergraduate and postgraduate students of University Malaya.
关于我们
雅西西安宁疗护机构（ASPAC）是一家由董事会管理的慈善机构，为社区提供免费的专业安宁疗护服务。我们位于马来西亚雪兰莪州八打灵再也市铁路街1/2号49号，我们的目标是提供熟练、富有同情心的安宁疗护护理，缓解症状和减轻痛苦，从而提高患者和家庭的生活质量。
ASPAC成立于2015年，是一家拥有有限责任和无股本的公司。我们的大多数推荐来自公立医院，主要包括患有晚期癌症的成年患者。然而，我们越来越多地接到非癌症疾病患者（如运动神经元病、晚期痴呆症、器官衰竭晚期）的推荐。还有越来越多的儿童因为需要儿科安宁疗护而被推荐。
我们的团队由医生、护士、悲伤辅导员、药剂师和志愿者组成。我们努力满足患者的身体、情感、精神和实际需求。我们还提供医疗设备出租服务，如医院床、氧气浓缩器、轮椅；并在药物可用时提供药物。
ASPAC定期为医疗专业人员、志愿者和社区开设培训课程。我们认为持续的专业发展对于员工以全面的方式提供熟练的安宁疗护非常重要。
我们在可能的情况下接受来自各大学和学院的医学生和其他本科生的短期附属职位。我们的医学顾问是来自马来亚大学医学中心（UMMC）的资深安宁疗护医学顾问，该医学中心是马来亚大学本科和研究生学生的首选教学医院。
