HOSPICE KLANG was set up in 1995 to provide "palliative care" to the community in Klang and the surrounding district. We are a charitable, non-governmental organisation, not affiliated to any political, religious or health establishment. Service and care are given FREE to all who need palliative care

"Palliative Care" - is medical care given to patients whose diseases no longer respond to curable treatments. The majority of such patients are those suffering from cancer. The aim of hospice-palliative care is to alleviate the sufferings of these patients and to enhance the quality of life in the remaining days of life . Hospice work involves providing for the relief of pain and other distressing symptoms, as well as the giving of professional advice and support to families of cancer patients to help them care better for these patients.

Our service for the present is only for patients with advanced cancer. Patients accepted by HOSPICE KLANG are referred by the attending doctor, family physician or specialist. A referral is necessary to ensure that all medical information is available to us. Referral forms are available from our Centre or downloaded from our website.
