World Cancer Day, observed each February, holds deep meaning for the APCC and its members. Cancer is the second most commonly supported condition across their network, touching many lives and inspiring continued care and advocacy.
Palliative care is often misunderstood as ‘end-of-life care’, but it’s much more than that. It is holistic support: physical, emotional, social, and spiritual, delivered by an interdisciplinary team to anyone facing a life-threatening illness, as well as their loved ones.
APCC members provide care from the moment of diagnosis, walking alongside patients and families throughout the journey. This support may continue into bereavement, if needed.

Palliative care works best when it starts earlier than people expect. Better symptom control. Better planning. Better support for families. This is why awareness matters as much as funding.

Did you know that we started our work in the Bitou area as The Plett Aids Forum 23 years ago!? And we are still doing AIDS related work.

Our primary healthcare clinic-based staff conducted HIV/AIDS education outreaches and remembrance gatherings this past World Aids Day.

The uncomfortable truth is that this disease is still around, with new infections occurring daily. Babies are also still being born HIV positive because their mothers are HIV positive and not on a treatment regimen.

Untreated HIV often goes hand-in-hand with TB, which is contagious and can affect ANYONE! The better we are at knowing our HIV status, being on prophylactic treatment if we are at risk, and being on anti-retroviral treatment if we are HIV positive, the better our chances are of bringing the TB infection rate right down!

HIV is preventable and treatable. It does not have to be a death sentence.
