Hospis Malaysia offers domiciliary palliative care in the Klang Valley area, to help manage health-related physical and emotional pain and suffering from life-limiting illnesses. It also provides education and training for healthcare providers to increase palliative understanding throughout Malaysia.
But the charity does not charge for these services to patients, meaning it relies substantially on donations to achieve those noble goals. Your one-time or regular donation will make a difference to a patient at the closing stage of their life.
It is our mission to ensure that every Malaysian is aware of, and has access to palliative care services when the need arises. The aim is to enhance the quality of life of patients by assessing their medical, psychological and emotional conditions and treating them accordingly. Medication (if necessary) is prescribed at no cost and under proper supervision. Psychological and emotional assistance are also extended to family members.

A Timely Reminder of Breast Cancer Month
Breast Cancer Month comes around every October to remind us how important it is to teach people to recognise the early signs of the disease, and to take proactive steps to control it. Unfortunately some people will still succumb to cancer until there is a cure. Hospis Malaysia wants to help them through the final stages as comfortably as humanly possible.

- Hospis Malaysia provides necessary medication free of charge, but under proper supervision.
- It also delivers psychological and emotional support to family members according to their need.
