Children’s hospice

Care for children. Space to be close.

Opened in 2016, the children’s hospice provides palliative care in an environment dedicated to children. Medical care here goes hand in hand with attention to everyday moments and life.

We welcome children with incurable illnesses from across Romania and support their families. In 2025, the centre had ten beds, with rooms upstairs for parents and other family members.

Care includes pain management, wound care, respiratory support, physiotherapy, and psychological support for children and parents. Stays of 21 days to three months are arranged with the team according to each child’s needs.

Adult hospice

Comfort, respect and dignity.

Opened in 2006, the adult centre cares for patients whose illness no longer responds to curative treatment. Pain management and continuous care are central to the team’s work.

We care for people with cancer and limited life expectancy when care at home is not possible and treatment in an acute hospital is not required. In 2025, the centre had 14 beds.

Families are involved in care. Alongside doctors and nurses, clergy and spiritual counsellors from different denominations, psychologists, and volunteers offer support with worries and practical arrangements.
