Karanda Palliative Care
CARING FOR THE ELDERLY
The Palliative Care Project includes the elderly, ensuring that they can live a normal life.
CURRENT INITATIVES
HOME BASED CARE
Karanda’s Palliative Care Project ensures that the needs of the community are met for those where care can be provided outside of the hospital.
OPTIMIZING HOSPITAL RESOURCES
By caring for patients at home, Karanda is improving decongestion at the hospital and expanding scope of care. The hospital is also able to provide follow ups at home and where needed provides ambulance services to take the patient to and from the hospital.
PROVIDING ESSENTIAL RESOURCES
The Palliative Care Project includes provisions for food, clothing and medical items such as wheelchairs to all home based care patients within the community.
