About The Ruth Foundation
The Ruth Foundation for Palliative and Hospice Care (TRF) is a non-governmental organization based in Muntinlupa City, Philippines. TRF is dedicated to providing the best quality of life to individuals of all ages facing serious illness. Through compassionate community-based care, education, and advocacy, TRF’s interdisciplinary team provides holistic support to patients and families, ensuring that no-one faces challenging times alone.
The Ruth Foundation for Palliative Care was formed in 2012 for the primary purpose of providing community-based opportunities for care of the home-bound elderly and those with life-limiting illness, alongside education and training in palliative and hospice care. The secondary aim of the Foundation is to support palliative care efforts of other organisations in the Philippines.
