About us
ST LUKE’S COMBINED HOSPICES WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1980, WHEN DAME CICELY SAUNDERS, FOUNDER OF THE MODERN-DAY HOSPICE, VISITED CAPE TOWN AFTER REPEATED REQUESTS FROM CHRISTINE DARE, THEN A 5TH YEAR MEDICAL STUDENT WHO HAD WORKED WITH DAME CICELY AT ST THOMAS’ HOSPITAL IN ENGLAND. THE RESULT OF THIS VISIT WAS A GATHERING OF CONCERNED PERSONS WHO FORMED AN ORGANISATION (ST LUKE’S) TO MEET THE SPECIAL NEEDS OF PATIENTS FACING LIFE THREATENING ILLNESSES, AS WELL AS THEIR FAMILIES. SINCE THOSE EARLY DAYS, ST LUKE’S COMBINED HOSPICES HAVE GONE FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH, THANKS TO THE WONDERFUL SUPPORT OF THE INDIVIDUALS, COMPANIES AND TRUSTS WHOSE DONATIONS KEEP OUR SERVICES GOING. OUR HEAD OFFICE IS IN HARFIELD ROAD, KENILWORTH, BUT SATELLITE COMMUNITY HOSPICES FUNCTION IN CERTAIN OTHER AREAS OF GREATER CAPE TOWN. HOMECARE PATIENTS NUMBER AROUND 850 AT ANY GIVEN TIME, AND OUR WARD CAN ACCOMMODATE A MAXIMUM OF 20 PATIENTS.

Hospice Week highlights the role of partnership in providing support and care for people with life-threatening illnesses. The activities of this week seek to recognise, share and celebrate the achievements of hospice and palliative care programmes with their partners. 'Hospice week' also highlights the importance of an effective partnership between family members, carers, service providers, funders, government departments and other stakeholders as vital to the provision of quality care.
