Island Hospice & Healthcare

Island Hospice & Healthcare We walk with patients and families through illness, loss, and recovery.

Offering palliative care, home nursing, counselling, training & medical equipment hire across Zimbabwe. For 43 years, Island Hospice and Healthcare (formerly Island Hospice Service Zimbabwe) has been improving the lives of those facing chronic or terminal illnesses. Island Hospice Service Zimbabwe was established in 1979 as the first Hospice in Africa and is a well-known centre of excellence in palliative care. The initial objectives were to provide direct home-based palliative care to those with a life threatening illness and their families and a comprehensive bereavement service. In 2014, Island Hospice Service Zimbabwe, changed its name to Island Hospice and Healthcare to better communicate the expansion of its services within its holistic approach to palliative care developed over the last three decades. The organization has managed to build a network of partners and services that reach vulnerable groups in society which include displaced peoples, orphans and other vulnerable children, young care-givers, widows and widowers, senior citizens and marginalized communities. Our services have expanded to include not only direct palliative care and bereavement counselling but also community health care initiatives, capacity building and training for healthcare professionals.

Today on International Women’s Day, we celebrate the many ways women bring care, compassion, and impact into the world.
In every space they occupy: at home, in communities, and in places of service; women continue to shape lives and strengthen those around them.

Today, and every day, their presence continues to make the world more humane, more hopeful, and more whole.

Happy International Women’s Day!
