🌸 Together We Care 🤝

The Palliative Care Association Kota Kinabalu (PCAKK) is deeply grateful to Datuk Ambrose Lee, Ms. Cathy Ting (Deputy General Manager), and the SugarBun & Pezzo teams for their thoughtful initiative in supporting our cause.

Through this meaningful collaboration, PCAKK donation boxes will soon be placed at 21 selected SugarBun and Pezzo outlets across Kota Kinabalu and nearby areas — giving customers the opportunity to extend their kindness to those living with incurable cancers and life-limiting illnesses. 💗

Every small act of giving helps us bring comfort, care, and dignity to our patients and their families.

🕊️ Together, we can make a big difference.

The PCAKK Home Care Team joined an insightful online training session from Queensland, Australia on “Chronic Respiratory Disease.”

The session featured two distinguished presenters:
👩‍⚕️ Professor Jennifer Philip – Chair of Palliative Medicine, Department of Medicine, The University of Melbourne
👨‍⚕️ Dr. Luke Garske – Staff Specialist Respiratory & Thoracic Physician, Caboolture Hospital

It was a valuable learning opportunity that deepened our understanding of managing and providing palliative care for patients with chronic respiratory conditions.
Special thanks to Alexander Stuetz for sharing the preparatory resources that enhanced today’s session.
