Hospice Africa Uganda

姑息治疗的所有需要​​在非洲

Hospice Africa Uganda commenced in September 1993, to follow the vision of HA: “Palliative care for all in need in Africa”. With a few months funding, HAU started with a two person team confident the vision could happen with dedicated support and carers; this dedicated team was led by Dr Professor Anne Merriman. At 57 she was driven to start a project to address the overwhelming unmet need for palliative care in Africa. Having chosen Uganda for the model, with an ethos with the patient and family at the centre of all we do, an affordable culturally appropriate model for Africa was developed. This has taken time and dedication, but through 23 years, it has happened.
