On the 9th of October we will commemorate Hospice and Palliative Care Day. Palliative care is comprehensive care that should be availed from the time that a person is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, however it is estimated that only 18% of South Africans are able to access this.

As World Hospice and Palliative Care Day calls for the acceleration of access to care for all, the Hospice Palliative Care Association (HPCA) is on a mission to promote quality in life, dignity in death and support in bereavement for all living with a life-threatening illness – including Covid-19.
