HOSPICE TORORO
ABOUT US
Hospice Tororo provides care in Eastern Uganda for patients with life-limiting diseases, such as AIDS and Cancer and their relatives, palliative care. We provide medical care, counselling, psycho-social support and spiritual care. Our aim is to improve the quality of life of our patients and to give them a worthyend of their life. To provide the total care our patients need, we collaborate with many public organizations and the Ugandan government.
Hospice Tororo started in January 2012 with palliative care services at
home, in the communities and in hospitals in the Eastern region of
Uganda. We also offer end-of-life education and training to both health professionals and community workers. Hospice Tororo is as NGO registered in Uganda, and is a project of ‘Wings of Hope Ministries 1982’.

‘YOU MATTER BECAUSE YOU ARE,
YOU MATTER UNTIL THE LAST MOMENT OF YOUR LIFE’
In Uganda thousands of people die every year because of Cancer and complications related to HIV/AIDS. The number of people suffering from Cancer is growing and although HIV-care is widely available many patients don’t have full access to medication.
Approximately 30% of the HIV-patients also develop HIV-related Cancers. When you’re diagnosed with Cancer in Uganda this almost certainly means you’re going to die. This because of delayed recognition of the Cancer and for many Ugandans treatment is often not accessible.

Thank you for our Partners from Okusbuira, SWOH, PCAU, APCA and many others.
The team of Hospice Tororo listens, nurses and cares for the patients and their relatives. We care without differentiating in gender, age, and ethnicity, social and religious background. We are there for all patients in need, because every life counts!
Community based care:
This program is expected to be implemented in the near future. It means that patients can get their palliative care in their own community. The team of Hospice Tororo will visit a community center. Most of the time this will be a local health center, where other medical care is also available. In order to make sure that when the Hospice team is not around, patients still get the appropriate care within their community centers, we need to train professional health workers in these centers and also so called Community Volunteers.
