The Irish Hospice Foundation believes that patients have a right to this whether they are being cared for in hospital, at home or in a hospice. Our objective is to make this right a reality. Many more specialised nurses are urgently needed. The Irish Hospice Foundation can provide them - but only if people like you give us regular support this year. I believe that it's a basic human right to have access to quality Palliative Care to the end of your life.
Many people face death in unnecessary pain.
Sometimes the pain is chronic. And the emotional pain can be just as devastating. They have to deal with fear, confusion, anger. Many worry about those they will leave behind. Others try to work through the complicated spiritual issues around death.
