It's an absolute disgrace that so many children do not have access to palliative care. The Government is failing dismally in its duty to provide health care for our children and should be deeply ashamed.

Natasjha - its not clear what assistance you need. Please send an email to the PatchSA website with specifics, and I will try to help further http://patchsa.org/#contact-us. It may interest you to know that our PatchSA newsletter of Nov 2016 shared news that at a Rare Diseases Conference (RareX) held at Spier, Stellenbosch, Lara Bloom, co-executive director of the Ehlers-Danlos society, attended, and was keen for an Ehlers-Danlos support group to be started in South Africa. She writes: The Ehlers-Danlos Society is keen to help the setup of an EDS support group in South Africa. As the international umbrella organisation we are committed to making sure geography doesn’t determine your quality of life. Utilising our experience and networks we can help willing and able advocates to set up a registered charity so that patients in South Africa have somewhere to turn for advice and support. Please contact Lara Bloom directly if you are interested at [email protected] You can also contact Rare Diseases South Africa, led by Kelly du Plessis and ask if an EDS support group was ever set up. https://www.rarediseases.co.za/about Hope that is helpful Natasjha - but please send an email to PatchSA if you need further assistance, and we can try to help
