Introduction

Nelspruit Hospice is a non‑profit organisation

Providing quality home‑based palliative care for people with life‑threatening illnesses. Most patients are cared for in their own homes, with the family as the unit of care.

Professional nurses work within an interdisciplinary team alongside referring doctors, social workers, physiotherapists, and spiritual leaders to provide holistic support for body, mind, and soul
