Penang Hospice Society We provide holistic medical care in homes of patients called Hospice at Home Programme. These problems can be addressed and reduced.

The need for holistic care often arises in the course of many diseases, for instance cancer. Annually about 40,000 people in Malaysia are found to have cancer where up to 70% have advanced, often incurable cancer. Many of them have chronic life limiting diseases of the heart, lung, kidney or nervous system. Common to both groups are problems - physical, psychological, social or spiritual - that are distressing and diminishes their quality of life. Since 1992, hospice care has been given in the homes of patients who were being looked after by their families. Nurses and doctors along with trained volunteers assist with:
* the relief of pain and other symptoms
* providing emotional and practical support
* teaching the family simple nursing care
* helping the family cope
* lending medical equipment
* bereavement support

With deep sadness, we mourn the passing of Dato' Dr Sharom Ahmat.

Dato' Dr Sharom was not only a distinguished historian and former academic, but also a compassionate leader who dedicated himself tirelessly to the Penang Hospice Society and the community we serve. His unwavering commitment to ensuring dignity, care, and support for patients and their families has left a lasting legacy that will continue to guide us.

He inspired many through his wisdom, humility, and passion for service. The impact of his work reaches far beyond our organisation and its people. He has touched countless lives across the community.

Dato' Dr Sharom, your legacy of compassion and care will live on in all that we do. Thank you for your leadership, your kindness, and the legacy you leave behind. You will always be remembered.

Funeral prayers and burial are expected to take place at the Sungai Gelugor mosque this evening.

Today, we stand not just in awareness but in unity with patients, families, caregivers, and communities. Every story is unique, and every voice matters - each leaving a legacy that lives on in the hearts of those touched.

In Malaysia, nearly 250,000 people have been diagnosed with cancer from 2017 to 2023, with the percentage of deaths rising in recent years. This serves as a reminder of the importance of early detection, comprehensive support, and improved access to care.

πŸ™ To patients bravely facing each day.
πŸ’› To families carrying hope and love.
🌿 To caregivers persevering with strength beyond measure.
πŸ’ͺ To the ones who have survived and continue to champion the fight against cancer.

We honour your stories, your resilience, and the love that guides you through every step of this journey.

Let’s continue to support one another because no one should face cancer alone.
