Care beyond treatment

When a young child undergoing chemotherapy could not have his mother at his bedside, staff nurses Futoon and Ruwayda became a steady source of comfort. Alongside expert clinical care, they offered kindness, emotional support, and a reassuring presence throughout an exceptionally difficult time.

Their compassion had such a profound impact that the child's father described them as "like mothers" to his son. They transformed the family's experience and showed the lasting difference compassionate nursing can make.
