About Hospice Training Teams

Death and Dying. . . A difficult subject in any culture. In many countries however, doctors were not trained as American doctors are now. They were taught that "the body is like a machine; when it is too broken to fix, just let it die." These doctors do not believe there are any emotions or a soul in that body. In 1995, MOST Ministries sent their first hospice training team to Riga, Latvia. They addressed hospital administrators, doctors, nurses, and psychologists. Since that first visit the largest hospital in Latvia has established a 25 bed Hospice Unit and a National Hospice Association has been registered with the Latvian Government. Since that time, MOST Ministries receives requests for hospice training from several different countries. These teams give a strong witness to the value of all human life, especially the dying and in countries where allowed, witnessing occurs whenever possible.
