Hospis Malaysia is a palliative care organisation offering domiciliary (home) palliative care to those with serious progressive illnesses. Our service is supported by a multidisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, pharmacist and occupational therapist. We also teach and train others to reach those we cannot reach and our teaching platform consists of a faculty of practising professionals from across the world.
The goal of palliative care is to alleviate the physical and emotional suffering of patients and families impacted by serious illnesses such as cancer, organ failure and late-stage degenerative neurological conditions, so as to improve the patient and their family’s quality of life and enable the patient to continue to live as comfortably as possible with dignity.
Studies around the world have demonstrated that most patients with these illnesses prefer to be cared for at home, closer to their loved ones, within a familiar environment. The domiciliary palliative care team at Hospis Malaysia works to meet its patients’ preferences by treating and caring for the patients in the comfort of their own place of residence.
*The Ministry of Health estimates that every year more than 100,000 Malaysians require palliative care, and by 2030, this is projected to increase to more than 230,000 per year. Sadly, currently less than 10% have access to it.
Help us to ensure equitable access to palliative care for all in need.
