Nakhon Ratchasima: A temple in the Chok Chai area has provided an example of how those who have end-stage illnesses can also perform good deeds before passing away.

The church assists in helping these people learn to accept that their deaths are about to pass, ensuring that they live through the final phase of their lives happily and sharing their experience with others.

” Even when diagnosed with an incurable ailment, not every person has to be mattress- bound instantly”, Dr Suphol Tatiyanuntaporn, provincial key health officer of Nakhon Ratchasima, said.

However, he said,” Most people take a analysis actually as a death sentence, which can have an impact on their mental well-being, cause them to suddenly lose their physical strength, and cause them to enter the last stage of life prematurely,” he said.

Phra Achan Saenprat Panyakhamo, priest of Pa Non Sa- at church in Chok Chai city, which has been offering care to patients with an finish- level disease, believes in the power of giving. He says these people, also, was also impart their knowledge to others to learn from. Giving can also be beneficial for the people themselves.

According to Suttipong Vasusopapol, deputy secretary-general of the National Health Commission Office ( NHCO ), the temple has been used as a model to promote the importance of helping patients in their final stages of life overcome the enormous mental impact of their disease.

More churches around the world are being urged to adopt this concept for end-of-life patient treatment, which incorporates the Buddhist nirvana exercise into the physical and mental care of patients up until the last moment of life, he said.

A number of patients are helped at ease by the temple’s long-term treatment, preventative care, and end-of-life care, which helps them understand what will happen next. This is a good illustration of how the rest of society can develop into a truly civilized world where everyone is willing to take great care of one another, he said.

The Social Development and Human Security Office of Nakhon Ratchasima’s Social Development and Human Security Office’s Chief, Saengdao Ari, claimed that her company and Thom Pa Non Sa-at have collaborated on a project that aims to provide patients with quality care in their final stages of life.

Due to the limited resources of government-run medical facilities, she said, not all of these patients receive the attention they need. Churches may move in at this point.

” Our hope now is that more of such calm care services is made available elsewhere, too”, she said.

More than 190,000 of these people are reportedly waiting to be admitted to a comparable facility that treats end-stage individuals in Nakhon Ratchasima only, according to her.
