Hospital Chaplaincy
In Togo, most hospitals focus solely on medical care, leaving many patient needs unmet. The Evangelical Presbyterian Church’s (EEPT) hospital chaplaincy team in Lomé works to address these broader needs, providing spiritual support, counseling, prayers, and material assistance.
At the CHU Tokoin university hospital, diaconal workers Abra Efako and Lucie Gbemou, supported by volunteers, distribute care packages containing food, medicine, soap, and clothing to patients whose families cannot provide. Their work also extends to five hospitals and a prison in the region. Despite limited resources, the team’s support directly reaches those in need, helping patients, caregivers, and hospital staff cope with illness and hardship.
