On January 24, 2017, at 10.00, the operations of the visiting palliative team "Hospice at Home" will commence in Uzhgorod city PHC center (Uzhgorod, Griboyedov st., 20 B).
The decision on the establishment of the team was adopted by the executive committee of Uzhgorod city council last September, and in December, the deputies approved its funding in the budget for 2017.
The team consists of 9 employees. In addition to medical professionals (doctors, nurses, junior nurses), there are social workers, a psychologist and a confessor.
"Hospice at Home" is the possibility for seriously ill patients and their families to receive professional health care at home: complex medical services, psychosocial support and spiritual accompaniment.
In Uzhgorod, about 420 townspeople are in need of palliative care, so the development of health and social services is an urgent issue.
Cooperation agreements with community organizations and charitable foundations have been signed.
