Twenty seven years ago the Empangeni Rotary Annโs (ladies) determined the need for a program to care fo dying patients and their families. And, as a result the Zululand Hospice Association was formally constituted in 1991.
We provide home-based palliative & supportive care in respect of physical, emotional and spiritual needs associated with the final stages of illness, the process of dying & bereavement.
We raise funds to continue our work and host various fundraising events throughout the year and rely on the support & donations of local businesses and the community to enable us to provide:
Hygiene
Wound care
Pain medication
Medical equipment
Zululand Hospice is a NGO & NPO that helps provide comfort, care and compassion to patients and their families that are affected by cancer, TB and HIV. We care for patients in the Richards Bay and Empangeni regions (and outskirts). We also help their families and loved ones.
