Global Partners in Care...Around the World and Back In May of 2014, FHSSA (formerly known as the Foundation for Hospices in Sub-Saharan Africa) became Global Partners in Care. Global Partners in Care now operates under an expanded global mission to include more countries, in addition to continuing the commitment to Africa, where the need for palliative and hospice care is great but the resources are limited. One year later, the organization continues to serve tens of thousands of people in Africa and now India and Nepal. Global Partners in Care provides partnership opportunities for U.S. hospice and palliative care organizations to make a commitment to support a hospice and palliative care organization in a developing country. Partners engage in capacity-building, strategic planning, education, fundraising, and technical assistance to expand and improve services for those in need. In 2014, the direct impact of the services provided by Global Partners in Care resulted in $524,235.00 sent directly to international partners who supported approximately 55,500 patients, 1,930 international medical workers, and over 3,000 hospice volunteers. Global Partners in Care now operates under an expanded global mission to include more countries...
