We’re proud to share that our MWS Home Care & Home Hospice team was represented at the 19th World Congress of the European Association for Palliative Care (EAPC) held in Helsinki, Finland from 29–31 May 2025. The Congress welcomed over 2,000 delegates and received more than 1,200 research abstracts from around the world. 

Our team’s abstract, “Characteristics of End-Stage Renal Failure (ESRF) Patients on Conservative Management Referred for Home Palliative Care Service: A Retrospective Descriptive Study”, was selected as a printed poster. The study sheds light on the complex needs and caregiver burden faced by ESRF patients in Singapore, which has one of the highest ESRF incidences globally. 

The study was supported by MWS’ Research, Innovation & Training Academy, underscoring our ongoing commitment to evidence-based care and meaningful research that supports quality end-of-life care in the community.
