The Belisha Foundation Completes Phase One of Cancer Patient Support Project at SPHMMC

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia — The Belisha Foundation has officially completed Phase One of the “Needy Cancer Patient Treatment and Palliative Care Unit Support for SPHMMC” Project through the successful handover of essential medical and hospital equipment to the Palliative Care Unit at St. Paul’s Hospital Millennium Medical College (SPHMMC).

The handover ceremony was attended by distinguished leaders from both institutions, including Dr. Muluken Tesfaye, Provost of SPHMMC; Dr. Ewnet Gebrehana, Research and Academic Vice Provost; Dr. Metasebia Damenu, Head of the Family Medicine Unit; and Dr. Mulatu Mebrate, Board Chairperson of The Belisha Foundation.

As part of the project, The Belisha Foundation donated critical equipment and resources to strengthen patient care and improve the treatment environment. The donation included oxygen cylinders, oxygen concentrators, custom-made privacy curtains, and healing wall art designed to create a more comfortable, supportive, and dignified setting for patients receiving palliative care.

The initiative reflects The Belisha Foundation’s commitment to improving the quality of life for cancer patients and supporting healthcare institutions that provide essential services to vulnerable communities. By addressing both medical and environmental needs, the project seeks to enhance patient comfort, preserve dignity, and support families during some of life’s most challenging moments.

More Than a Handover

This milestone represents more than the delivery of equipment. It symbolizes a growing partnership between The Belisha Foundation and SPHMMC, united by a shared commitment to compassionate care, improved access to services, and better outcomes for cancer patients in Ethiopia.

The completion of Phase One lays the foundation for continued collaboration and future initiatives aimed at strengthening cancer care, expanding patient support services, and bringing hope to those facing serious illness.

The Belisha Foundation extends its gratitude to the leadership and staff of SPHMMC, donors, volunteers, and supporters whose contributions made this important project possible.

Together, we are creating a future where every cancer patient receives care with dignity, compassion, and hope.
