After a patient dies the care normally stops and the family is left alone in their grief.
However the care of Hospice Tororo doesn’t stop when a patient has passed away. We offer a program whereby the medical social workers visit the family after one passed away. This to share in the grief, to counsel the relatives and to close our care to the family in a professional way.
Special attention during the bereavement will go to the children younger than 15 years. Although this attention does not start after a parent dies, but already while the parent is still living. When a child becomes an orphan, arrangements are made for a future with the sick parent, future caregivers and partner organizations. A child will be followed-up till about 6 months after the death of a parent.
