With the generous sponsorship from donors, the Relief and Charity Beds Service (RCS) Programme has been launched since April 2012. With the RCS Programme, it is possible for SASHCC to extend our quality and holistic care to those with limited means, covering accommodation, medical, nursing, rehabilitation and psycho-social & spiritual care services as well as mortuary, memorial services and bereavement support for the families.
