PRETORIA HOSPICE ASSOCIATION

Sungardens Hospice offers a program of specialized, palliative care to our patients with progressive, far advanced, incurable disease.

We also offer support to their families. The majority of out-patients are visited in their homes by experienced, specially trained nursing staff.

We offer this service to communities in the Greater Pretoria area (which includes Mamelodi). We are a non-profit organization and receive 95% of our funding from corporate donors, sponsorships, donations as well as income generated by our charity shop.

Hospice recognises dying as a normal process and neither hastens or postpones death. We recognise grief as a normal response to loss and support the families during the bereavement period. Any patient (with their consent) with progressive, far advanced, incurable disease: Cancer, HIV/AIDS, end stage cardiac failure etc. can make use of our services. *No one will ever be turned away due to their inability to pay for our services.*
