Image description

This patient said he would be overjoyed if he could swim one more time in the Caribbean sea. Transport was arranged by the hospice for him to travel with two nurses to Tela, a small town on the Caribbean coast. With the help of the nurses he was able to accomplish his final wish. April 1994 (photo) This patient is from the San José Hospice, San Pedro Sula, Honduras. The hospice was run by Jospice International a Liverpool based Catholic charity, which opened in 1991 and is specifically devoted to the care of AIDS patents. Contracting the HIV virus in 1994, meant a certain death as no antiretroviral medicines were available. The hospice could only provide basic medication, care and spiritual support for the patients.
