Core offering

Paedspal delivers specialist paediatric palliative care through outpatient clinics held four times a week in Rondebosch, Cape Town, in-hospital consultative services at Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital and Mowbray Maternity Hospital, a neonatal Neopals service, and a community outreach programme. It complements clinical services with CPD-accredited training workshops and seminars for healthcare professionals, plus policy and research activities conducted with UCT, PatchSA, and King's College London. Care is holistic, addressing the physical, emotional, psychosocial, and spiritual needs of children with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions and their families.

Together, these services form a comprehensive palliative care ecosystem addressing the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of children with life-limiting conditions and their families across the Western Cape.
