We were pleased to participate in the 20th Anniversary Conference of the Lebanese Psychological Association (LPA 2025), held in Metropolitan Hotel on September 20–21, 2025.

SANAD’s Clinical Psychologist, Hala El Amine, MSc, delivered a workshop entitled “The Comprehensive and Holistic Care of Patients with Life-Threatening Illnesses,” emphasizing the essential role of psychological support in palliative care. In addition to the workshop, our presence included a booth showcasing SANAD’s work in providing free of charge home-based hospice care, shedding a special spotlight on the work of its mental health unit and the psychological support it provides patients and their families.

We extend our gratitude to the Lebanese Psychological Association for this opportunity to share expertise, engage with colleagues, and highlight the importance of dignity, comfort, and holistic support for patients and their families.

"Clarity is a form of compassion."

In end-of-life care, conversations are never easy. But one of the most powerful lessons is this: patients and families value honesty, delivered with sensitivity.

Uncertainty can feel overwhelming. Clear communication helps replace fear with understanding, and confusion with informed choices.

Practical steps we can all take:

- Avoid medical jargon, use words that patients and families can truly understand.
- Be open about what is known and what remains uncertain.
- Always pair honesty with empathy, making space for emotions as well as facts.

When we practice this balance, we give patients and their loved ones the dignity of choice and the comfort of clarity.

👉 How do you personally navigate the balance between honesty and compassion in difficult conversations?

Last month, SANAD delivered a four-day Generalist Training in Palliative and Hospice Care for healthcare workers from the Nabih Berri Governmental University Hospital of Nabatieh. The sessions took place in Beirut and were kindly hosted on the premises of Rafik Hariri University Hospital.

As part of SANAD’s ongoing commitment to advancing palliative care in Lebanon, this training was delivered as a community service initiative to support public healthcare institutions and to help expand the knowledge and expertise of medical professionals. Through such initiatives, SANAD strives to strengthen the reach of hospice and palliative care, ensuring that more patients and families across Lebanon can receive the dignity, comfort, and support they deserve.

We extend our gratitude to Rafik Hariri University Hospital for providing the venue for this training.

الشهر الماضي، قدّمت جمعية سند للرعاية التلطيفية في لبنان تدريباً عاماً مكثفاً على مدى أربعة أيام في مجال الرعاية التلطيفية والرعاية في نهاية الحياة للعاملين في القطاع الصحي في مستشفى نبيه بري الحكومي الجامعي – النبطية. وقد أُقيمت الجلسات في بيروت واستضافها مشكوراً مستشفى رفيق الحريري الجامعي في حرم المستشفى.

وانطلاقاً من التزام سند الدائم بتعزيز خدمات الرعاية التلطيفية في لبنان، تم تقديم هذا التدريب كمبادرة لخدمة المجتمع، لدعم المستشفيات الحكومية والمساهمة في تطوير معرفة وخبرات كوادرها الطبية. من خلال هذه المبادرات، تسعى سند إلى توسيع نطاق الرعاية التلطيفية والرعاية المنزلية لتصل إلى عدد أكبر من المرضى وعائلاتهم، بما يضمن لهم الكرامة والراحة والدعم الذي يستحقونه.

نتوجّه بجزيل الشكر إلى مستشفى رفيق الحريري الجامعي على استضافته لهذا التدريب.

Today, we are reminded that dignity, compassion, and care are not privileges, they are rights. The World Health Organization recognizes palliative care as a human right, because every person deserves comfort, support, and relief from suffering at the most vulnerable stage of life.

Hospice and palliative care mean more than medical support, they mean honoring a person’s humanity, ensuring they are not left to suffer in silence, and surrounding families with the strength and guidance they need. To deny this care is to deny dignity itself.

On this day, we stand with the global humanitarian movement and reaffirm our mission: to ensure that no patient and no family in Lebanon walks this journey alone.

Your voice, your support, and your compassion make this possible. Together, we can keep dignity, comfort, and humanity alive, even in the face of terminal illness.

Join us. Advocate. Support. Stand with SANAD. Because palliative care is not just healthcare, it is a human right.
