As part of our partnership with Nelson Mandela University and our ongoing Hospice awareness efforts, we recently attended their Social Workers Day event on 25 March. It was a meaningful event highlighting the vital role social workers play in our communities🙏

We were also privileged to witness the 4th year students take their Social Workers’ Pledge, which is a milestone moment in their journey towards becoming qualified professionals.

We are proud to introduce our student social workers, who will be completing their practical training with us. We look forward to welcoming them into the Hospice team and supporting them as they grow and learn.💕

South Africa has made meaningful progress in the fight against TB, including improved access to shorter, more effective treatment regimens and expanded TB testing.
These advances are saving lives - but the journey doesn’t end with a diagnosis.
In 2023, 56,000 people still died from TB, reminding us that many individuals and families continue to face complex physical, emotional, and social challenges throughout illness and recovery.
Alongside medical treatment, palliative care plays a vital supportive role, helping people affected by TB manage symptoms, improve quality of life, and receive compassionate care that supports both patients and families.
On World TB Day, take a step towards holistic, patient-centred care.
