This is according to chairperson Themba Ntshalintshali at their recent AGM.
Ntshalintshali added that the centre is managing to survive due to the efforts and commitment of management and staff, whom he said are invaluable. “We were faced not only with escalating costs as far as municipal expenses and other day-to-day expenses go, but also with the increase in fuel prices. “Subsidy was only received for five of the 30 available beds with the result being that finding funding to continue rendering palliative care to terminally ill patients remains an ongoing challenge.
“Challenges have been, inter alia, medical aids who don't recognise the importance of palliative care and therefore make no provision for in-patient treatment for such members. The shortage of staff and medical equipment has also presented challenges.”Brouwer added that during the period under review, 50 children aged between 0 and seven were provided with residential, medical, physical, emotional and spiritual care. There were 24 new admissions.
