Cancer is a very complicated life-threatening disease which affects millions of South Africans.

CANSA is very concerned about the high incidence of cancer and is working hard to help prevent South Africans from getting it, helping them to detect it early and facilitating care and support to those who are diagnosed as well as their families.

Hospice evolves from the vision that every person with a terminal illness deserves quality, meaningful life during the time that is left to him or her. A dignified death is the right of every human being.

The Hospice Association offers:

• Palliative care for people with an advanced incurable disease
• Support for their families and caregivers
• Education and training in palliative care
