Meeste palliatiewe sorg in Suid-Afrika word deur privaat instellings aangebied. Drakenstein Palliatiewe Hospies is egter as ’n nie-regeringsorganisasie in 1991 deur ‘n klein groep vrywilligers gestig om hierdie kritieke gemeenskapsdiens te verrig. Hulle versorg gemiddeld 250 pasiënte met lewensbedreigende siektes in hul huise en bedien die hele Drakenstein-distrik van Saron tot Simondium insluitend al die dorpe landelike gebiede en informele nedersettings. Hul sorgspan verseker dat pasiënte en hul gesinne van die beste gehalte palliatiewe sorg voorsien word en met waardigheid sterf. Die doel is om pyn en lyding te bestuur deur middel van vroeë identifikasie en deeglike assessering en om ondersteuning te bied op ’n fisieke psigososiale en geestelike vlak.

Most palliative care in South Africa is offered by private institutions. However Drakenstein Palliative Hospice was founded as a non-governmental organisation in 1991 by a small group of volunteers to perform this critical community service. They care for an average of 250 patients with life-threatening illnesses in their homes and serve the entire Drakenstein district from Saron to Simondium including all the towns rural areas and informal settlements. Their care team ensures that patients and their families are provided with the best quality palliative care and die with dignity. The aim is to manage pain and suffering through early identification and thorough assessment and to offer support on a physical psychosocial and spiritual level.
