It is the aim of
Blessed Gérard's Hospice

to bridge the gap between hospital and the patient's home.

• Hospitals often have no other choice than to discharge patients before they can really look after themselves.
• The families are often unable to cope with the care of their relatives, because they lack either confidence, skills or facilities.
• The Hospice assists patients suffering from HIV/AIDS, who can no longer be helped in hospital e.g. because of a poor prognosis but who also cannot be adequately nursed in their own home.

The objectives of Blessed Gérard's Hospice are

• The provision of health care services to poor and needy persons

• The care or counselling of terminally ill persons or persons with a severe physical or mental disability, and the counselling of their families in this regard

• The provision of preventative and education programmes relating to HIV/AIDS

• The care, counselling or treatment of persons afflicted with HIV/AIDS, including the care or counselling of their families and dependants in this regard and

• The provision of primary health care education.
