St Francis Hospice, Port Elizabeth

St Francis Hospice, Port Elizabeth Providing palliative care since 1984. We serve the greater Nelson Mandela Bay and Kouga Area. Our care is available to all, irrespective of their ability to pay.

Hospice is both a program and a philosophy of care that is dedicated to improving the quality of life for patients with a life threatening illness. Hospice provides a program of palliative care which encompasses the holistic care of patients whose disease is no longer responsive to curative treatment. St Francis Hospice currently provides comprehensive home-based palliative care to ±240 patients per month in the Nelson Mandela Metro and surrounds, serving people who are in the final stages of an illness such as Cancer, Aids, TB or Motor Neurone disease and giving support to their families, some of whom live in abject poverty.

South Africa has made meaningful progress in the fight against TB, including improved access to shorter, more effective treatment regimens and expanded TB testing.
These advances are saving lives - but the journey doesn’t end with a diagnosis.
In 2023, 56,000 people still died from TB, reminding us that many individuals and families continue to face complex physical, emotional, and social challenges throughout illness and recovery.
Alongside medical treatment, palliative care plays a vital supportive role, helping people affected by TB manage symptoms, improve quality of life, and receive compassionate care that supports both patients and families.
On World TB Day, take a step towards holistic, patient-centred care.
