‘Poor people in all parts of the world live and die with little or no palliative care or pain relief. Staring into this access abyss, one sees the depth of extreme suffering in the cruel face of poverty and inequity.(The Lancet Commission Report “Alleviating the access abyss to palliative care.” October, 2017)
Rays of Hope Hospice Jinja has provided palliative care for patients with life-threatening and life-limiting illnesses since 2005 in the Busoga Region and Buikwe District in Uganda. Most of our clients are bedridden, so care is done at their homes. Our teams of dedicated nurses, social workers, clinicians and drivers go deep into the far corners or some of the poorest areas on the planet everyday on scheduled, regular visits as many of these people’s last hope. We help our patients live every day that they have left without pain or needless suffering. In addition to palliative and hospice care, we have developed a holistic and comprehensive program which addresses not only their physical health needs, but also their emotional, spiritual and social needs. Today, we reach over 700 terminally ill patients with pain relief and symptom management throughout the Busoga Region. We have, however, expanded our program to include management not only of the terminally ill, but also to treatment support for those who have a hope of healing, cervical and breast cancer screenings, counselling, school fees support, food support, shelter, bereavement support and mattress and bedding support in order to comprehensively help as many people as we can through our program. The reality is that illness affects not only the person afflicted by it, but the whole community around them - most especially their immediate families and children - and we want to alleviate the burden of illness on as many people as we can.
