Answer
HOSPICE was born 32 years ago, when Graham Perolls blazed the trail for palliative care in Romania for patients diagnosed with an incurable illness. For most European countries, palliative care is included in the national medical system and most patients have access to it. In Romania, however, before HOSPICE Casa Speranței was founded, the concept of palliative care did not even exist, and the medical system had very little to offer to patients diagnosed with an incurable illness.
In 2024, patients (both adults and children) from 38 counties in Romania were admitted in its two hospitals. Currently, HOSPICE Casa Speranței employs over 270 staff members across two hospitals in Brașov and Bucharest, and the socio-medical centre in Adunații Copăceni. Over 400 volunteers participate in the organization’s activities. Since 1992, over 50.000 people faced with a cruel challenge found solace at HOSPICE. They and their families received much needed support and learnt to face their illness with dignity.
