Palliative and Home Care

Catering to children in the advanced stages of cancer, this service was launched in late 1999. Palliative and home care creates a privacy option for patients and parents, reduces the inconvenience in travelling for treatment and, at the same time, relieves the burden on hospital resources.

Under the supervision of a consultant, three registered nurses, trained and experienced in the special needs of palliative care, provide medical attention to patients in their homes. Counselling and bereavement care are shared between the nurses and CCF's professional family counsellors.
