Caring with Compassion, Dignity, and Hope
At the heart of HACT’s mission lies our unwavering commitment to caring for those facing life-limiting illnesses such as AIDS and cancer. Through our Othandweni Hospice and Palliative Care Unit and community health programmes, we provide comfort, dignity, and holistic support to patients and their families during some of life’s most difficult moments.
For many, Othandweni, meaning “Place of Love” in isiZulu, is a home away from home. Here, our team of dedicated nurses, carers, counsellors, and volunteers offer 24-hour care, ensuring that every patient receives the medical, emotional, and spiritual support they deserve. Families are welcomed with warmth and respect, and each life is treated with compassion and grace.
HACT offers holistic and comprehensive HIV healthcare services to individuals, families and communities that align with South Africa’s National Strategic Plan on HIV/AIDS, TB & STI’s. These services include HIV testing, TB & STI screening, home-based and inpatient care as well as adherence counselling.
Every year, over 240 critically ill patients find comfort and dignified care within our 24-bed Respite Unit, a beacon of hope where mainstream healthcare is often unavailable.
“When a patient leaves our unit, our work doesn’t stop. They become part of our family. Our home visit nurses ensure they remain supported and never default on their life-saving treatment.” – Nurse Sindi, Respite Unit Staff
