HPCA is a non - profit Association established in 1988 with nearly 200 Member Hospice sites throughout all 9 provinces of South Africa.
Our Vision is: "quality Palliative Care for all" and our Mission is: "to promote quality in life, dignity in death and support in bereavement to all persons living with a life-threatening illness by supporting member and partner organisations".
What is Palliative Care? Palliative Care is an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing life - threatening illnesses, through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification and impeccable assessment and treatment of pain and other problems, physical, psychosocial and spiritual. (WHO 2002) Community and Corporate Support: Hospices rely on community support (funding and volunteers) and financial assistance from organisations such as City Lodge because care is usually free to over 106,000 patients.
