Overstrand Hospice provides no end to caring during lockdown

The onset of  CORONA Virus has heightened our awareness of the plight of people diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, and the numerous challenges patients and their families have to deal with on a daily basis. These may include loss of income, loss of future and loved ones, fear of dying alone, in isolation,or fear of dying unsupported and in pain.

People living with cancer and other life threatening conditions are at a higher risk of infection. For them the stress and anxiety during the lockdown period is even greater than for those that are healthy and isolated.
