A highly disproportionate burden of cancer is manifested in the world's poorest societies. Since 2016, I have volunteered with the Washington, DC-based organization Health Volunteers Overseas and have provided oncology and palliative nursing education and consultation in Vietnam, Honduras, and Bhutan. In addition, I have volunteered with Living Room International in Kenya, focusing on hospice nursing resource enhancement. I have traveled more than 50,000 miles to those four resource-impoverished nations and witnessed hardships beyond description.
癌症负担在世界上最贫困的社会中表现得极为不均衡。自2016年以来,我一直志愿为总部位于华盛顿特区的海外健康志愿者组织服务,并在越南、洪都拉斯和不丹提供肿瘤学和姑息护理教育及咨询。此外,我还在肯尼亚的国际客厅组织做志愿者,专注于加强临终关怀护理资源。我已经前往这四个资源匮乏的国家,行程超过50000英里,目睹了难以言表的艰辛。
