Since embarking on our dedicated palliative care journey in 2022, we have come a long way — guided by compassion, purpose, and the unwavering belief that care must never stop.

Today, we are deeply grateful that our two pioneering Palliative Care Namibia centres stand proud as beacons of hope:
In Windhoek, we serve through our House Zietsman Care Facility, and in Swakopmund, we now welcome patients at our House Johannesson Care Facility.

Two homes. One mission. Dignified, compassionate care when it matters most.

Today we officially opened the Palliative Care Namibia Erongo Centre in Swakopmund — another important step in strengthening compassionate cancer care in Namibia.

This milestone honours the legacy of Mr Heiko Behrens, whose bequest made our Erongo presence possible, and reflects years of vision, fundraising and partnership — including the valued support of Langer Heinrich Uranium and the Baard Family’s Rough n Tough Rally initiative.

A particularly meaningful moment was recognising Mr Kurt Johannesson, former and long-serving CEO of the Cancer Association of Namibia, whose decades of leadership helped shape the national fight against cancer. It was both fitting and deeply deserved to honour him through the House Johannesson Care Facility — a tribute to a life dedicated to service.

Because even when cure is no longer possible, care must never stop.
