Strategic Partners
Organisations that share our long-term vision and work with us to shape the direction of palliative care in the region. Their support helps us build lasting capability, from programmes to leadership to organisational strength.
Our Partner
A distinctive aspect of Lien Foundation’s partnership has been its sustained investment in APHN’s organisational capacity. Since 2012, the Foundation has supported APHN’s core organisational capacity through the funding of key manpower (one Executive Director and one staff) and the provision of office space for its Secretariat.
This long-term support has provided APHN with a stable base from which to build its operational capabilities, coordinate regional programmes, connect members and partners, and extend its reach across the Asia Pacific.
The Lien Collaborative for Palliative Care brings together APHN's regional network, international and local faculty, healthcare institutions and national stakeholders to strengthen palliative care capacity, particularly in countries where access to specialist training and services remains limited.
Beyond training individual healthcare professionals, the programme develops local faculty and clinical and nursing leaders, strengthens services, builds national and regional networks, and engages Ministries of Health and policymakers to support sustainable palliative care development.
The Cynthia Goh Palliative Care Fellowship invests in promising palliative care professionals from across the region and supports their development as future leaders.
Through mentorship, learning opportunities, regional exposure and connections with established palliative care leaders, Fellows are encouraged to grow as leaders, advocates, educators and change-makers who can contribute to palliative care development within their institutions, countries and the wider region.
A Partnership for Lasting Impact
This partnership rests on a shared belief that lasting change takes more than funding individual activities. It depends on sustained investment in people, leadership and institutions.
By backing both our programmes and the organisation that delivers them, Lien Foundation has expanded our ability to connect, equip and empower the palliative care community across Asia Pacific.
Together, we are building more than today's services. We are nurturing the leaders, relationships and structures that will carry palliative care forward for generations to come.
