💙 Thank You, Persatuan Hospis Tawau! 💙
Our heartfelt appreciation to Persatuan Hospis Tawau for generously sponsoring and hosting the October round of the National Training for Paediatric Palliative Providers (NTP Sabah 2025).

Your support made it possible for healthcare providers from across Sabah — and even from the Philippines and Cambodia — to come together, learn, and grow in delivering compassionate paediatric palliative care.

Together, we continue to build a stronger, kinder network for children and families in need.

Last week, we celebrated her birthday.
Family and friends came together to be with her on this special day.
Her father broke down in tears, again and again.

The venue was arranged in a rush — it wasn’t easy to find a private, cozy space within reach.
This place had stairs, but she loved the atmosphere and setting.
Her father simply said, “It’s okay, I can carry her.”
We worried it might be too much for him,
but his love shows in the way he keeps giving — with all his strength, in his own way.
He simply can’t let go.
And in truth, it’s never easy to be ready to let go.

The paediatric palliative care team was there — quietly supporting,
making sure she was comfortable, and that the family could focus on what truly mattered:
being together, celebrating love and life, even in fragile moments like this.

We’re not wish fulfillers…
But we do our best to be the bridge — to help families communicate, to let parents know they’re supported, and to empower them to make the most of their precious time together.
We help each young warrior plan, express, and create memories that truly matter. 🌈🦋

First Home Visit

A milestone moment for our Malaysian Children’s Hospice team — our very first home visit!
Together with our paediatric palliative doctor and volunteer nurse (and yes, we’re still recruiting more nurses 💪), we joined hands with the wonderful team from QEH1 — the rehab specialist and their supportive crew.
It’s heartwarming to see how collaboration can make a real difference. Something as simple as being able to enjoy a 5-minute shower — a luxury for this brave girl — became possible with the rehab team’s thoughtful input and practical suggestions to adapt her home setting.
Step by step, together, we’re making comfort and dignity possible — right where it matters most, at home. 💙

When you adopt a BuddyBear Companion Set for children with serious illnesses, you’re also taking home this adorable Doctor Bear keychain 🧸💙 — a small reminder of the big love and comfort you’ve helped share.

Your support brings warmth, care, and hope to children and families in paediatric palliative care. 💫

✨Pre-Launching Use of MCH KK Hospice Office ✨

A meaningful milestone — our first full day with the whole team in the new hospice space! 💙

The day was filled with teamwork and purpose:
* Clinical meeting to finalise referral flow & SOPs
* Equipment loan and consumable item list review
* CPAP user training
* Hospital referral discussions
* Contractor visits for renovation touch-ups, WiFi setup & solving our little “bird guests” issue

🌙 Interim Committee – First Physical Meeting
Committed hearts despite the heavy rain — staying late into the night for meaningful discussions, insights, and action plans for the path ahead.
Every step brings us closer to creating a hospice space built with care, compassion, and community.

💜 Throwback to NCCPCM 2025!

From inspiring opening sessions to the joyful dinner celebration, the National Conference on Children’s Palliative Care Malaysia (NCCPCM 2025) was a truly heartwarming gathering of compassion and collaboration. 🌈

As part of this nationwide effort, the MCH KK team is proud to have joined hands with colleagues, partners, and volunteers from across Malaysia — sharing knowledge, building connections, and reaffirming our shared mission to bring comfort, dignity, and hope to every child and family facing life-limiting illness. 💙

A big thank you to all speakers, participants, organisers, volunteers, and partners who made this meaningful event possible. Together, we continue to grow the heart of paediatric palliative care in Malaysia. 💪

World Hospice and Palliative Care Day 2025

Today is World Hospice and Palliative Care Day, I just want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who has contributed to this field — whether you are a healthcare provider, a volunteer, or a parent advocator. Thank you for all that you’ve been doing, for your care, love, and commitment.

All around the world, more people are recognising how important palliative care is, and how many lives it can touch. This doesn’t happen overnight — it’s because of the hard work and dedication of palliative care leaders everywhere.

Today is also a special day for MAPPAC — it’s the opening of our new Headquarters, the home of our administrative office. This is a big milestone for us after seven years since MAPPAC was formed. With this HQ, we hope to grow even stronger as a team, so we can expand our services and reach more children and families who need our care and support, and to make our services sustainable.

Thank you, Dr. Lee president of MAPPAC, our amazing committee members and volunteers. Without all of you, we wouldn’t be where we are today. This milestone belongs to ALL OF US in MAPPAC.

I’m truly grateful to be part of the children’s palliative care team, and to have been with MAPPAC since day one. To everyone who has a heart for children’s palliative care — let’s keep walking this journey together.

Together, for children’s palliative care 💙

💙 Why I Care — From a Physiotherapist’s Heart

“As a physiotherapist in paediatric palliative care, my role goes beyond treatment.
It’s about helping children move, feel more comfortable, and sleep better — but most of all, it’s about honouring their strength and dignity through every small smile.”

In every gentle stretch, there’s care.
In every smile, there’s hope.
And in every moment, there’s love. 🌿
