What We Do
Lodging & Meals
Providing food and lodging to all patients and their caregivers
About Lodging & Meals
CURE’s patients and their families come from all parts of the countries (and often neighboring countries) where we serve. Sometimes they must travel many hours or even days to get to a CURE hospital for life-changing surgery. And since it’s often too difficult to make that long journey each time they need a cast change or a new bandage or other needed treatment, CURE works to ease that burden by providing long or short-term lodging, depending on each patient’s needs.
In addition to providing safe and comfortable housing, we also provide all patients and caregivers three meals a day at no cost to them. The meals ensure patients receive the nutrition they need to be in good health for surgery and recovery. Lodging and meals are part of CURE’s commitment to caring for our patients and their families in a warm, compassionate, and gospel-centered environment.
More about Lodging & Meals
Meals and lodging are provided to all patients and caregivers who visit CURE. For patients who are still in need of acute care but aren’t fully ready to be discharged home, long-term lodging in one of CURE’s hostels is essential. Providing a safe, comfortable place for them to stay frees up bed space in the children’s ward and helps maintain a steady flow of patients through surgery and post-surgical recovery. Supporting nutritional needs for all patients with three meals a day helps ensure their bodies are strong enough for surgery. It’s all part of helping more kids heal–and heal well!
CURE patients who live too far away to travel to and from the hospital for treatment or who need extended care are housed in one of our 106 long-term hostel beds. We also have 245 beds throughout the wards and intensive care units across all eight CURE hospitals for short-term stays.
CURE serves children living with treatable disabilities living in poverty at no
cost to them or their families. Patients or their caregivers will never be charged for
the services they receive. The cost of all care is provided by our generous and faithful
donors.

From their first meeting with a doctor to diagnostic testing and nutritional support, CURE is committed to ensuring children and families are prepared before, during, and after surgery.
