Hospice Care & Visits.
We sit with the family through the hours nobody else has time for.
About this service
What it actually looks like.
Hospice care at Moriah Healthcare Services is about quality of time — for the patient and for the family. We manage pain, ease symptoms, and stay present through the long evenings.
Our hospice team also visits patients still receiving care at hospices and hospital wards across Kampala — bringing the steady hand and continuity families ask for.

Is this for you?
Hospice Care & Visits is right for you if…
A family member has been diagnosed with a serious or terminal illness

The family needs respite — even one weekend
How we start
From first call to first visit.
Family meeting
We sit with the patient and family together — to listen, not to brief. We ask what a 'good day' looks like.
Comfort plan
Built around dignity, not protocols. We adjust medications with your physician and equip the home for ease.
Ongoing presence
Visits scaled to need — daily, twice-weekly, or on-call. The plan changes with the illness.
After-care
Our counsellors continue bereavement support for as long as the family wants it.
