Hospice Care Kenya (HCK) is an independent UK charity established in 1991 to promote the development of the hospice movement in Kenya.
HCK currently supports the work of eight hospices and their outreach clinics which provide palliative care (symptom control and promoting quality of life) to people dying from painful terminal illnesses including HIV/AIDS.
Highly qualified doctors, nurses, social workers, volunteers and other healthcare professionals bring care and comfort to those who would otherwise suffer unspeakably.
The Kenyan hospices work with outpatients or in the patient's own home. Many terminally ill patients have to travel long distances from rural areas for treatment. Currently there are hospices at Nairobi, Nakuru, Nyeri, Eldoret, Kisumu, Meru, Coast (Mombasa), Nyahururu and within Kijabe Hospital. To find out more about them click on the pictures below.
