What if palliative care isn't about the end of life, but about the quality of life?

Many people are surprised to learn that palliative care can begin from the time of diagnosis, working alongside medical treatment to help manage symptoms, support families and improve quality of life.

It is care that sees the whole person, not just their illness. It recognises that physical comfort, emotional wellbeing, family support and dignity are all part of good healthcare.

At APCC, our mission is to ensure that everyone facing a life-threatening illness has access to compassionate, holistic palliative care when they need it most.

Real strength is taking your health seriously.
Men are often taught to push through pain, stay quiet, and keep going. But looking after your health is not weakness. It’s responsibility.
This Men’s Health Month, the APCC encourages men and boys to take their health seriously: to ask questions, seek support, and not wait until things become critical.
Across South Africa, APCC members provide compassionate palliative care to men facing serious illness, offering pain management, emotional support, home-based care, and dignity throughout every stage of the journey.
No one should have to face illness alone.

What a wonderful day celebrating National Cancer Survivors Day at Estcourt Hospice on the 6th June 2026. The day started with a very well supported fun colour walk. Then we had entertainment from Alex and Vishaylin. Mr Sookraj, our Hospice Chairman then interviewed a few staff members, Quinten Swanepoel our treasurer and Belinda Smith our Fundraiser to explain more about what services we provide, and what we need to remain sustainable. We then treated all the cancer survivors to a special lunch and they all received lovely hampers donated by Nestlé and Mackson's supermarket. A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL WHO MADE THIS DAY POSSIBLE 💛
