The Palliative Care Association of Kota Kinabalu (PCAKK) is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to improving the quality of life of individuals living with life-limiting illnesses and supporting their families through compassionate, holistic care. Since our establishment in 1998, we have provided care and support to patients diagnosed with incurable cancers, end-stage organ failure, motor neuron disease, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, post-stroke conditions, and other serious illnesses. Our services are available to people of all ages, including children with life-limiting conditions.

For more than two decades, PCAKK has worked closely with the Palliative Care Unit at Queen Elizabeth Hospital I, the Cardiology Unit at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, and the Likas Women & Children’s Hospital to ensure continuity of care for patients both in hospital and at home.  At the heart of our work is our commitment to ensuring that no patient faces their journey alone. Through our Home Care Programme, Day Care Services, and the loan of medical aids and equipment, we provide practical assistance, comfort, and emotional support to patients and their caregivers—completely free of charge.

Over the years, PCAKK has touched the lives of more than 5,200 patients and their families, helping them navigate some of life's most challenging moments with dignity, compassion, and hope.  We are also actively involved in supporting children with cancer and other life-limiting conditions through close collaboration with the paediatric teams at Likas Women & Children’s Hospital, ensuring that young patients and their families receive the care and support they need every step of the way.

Guided by our founding vision, we continue to advocate for accessible palliative care and strive to ensure that every person facing a serious illness can live with comfort, dignity, and the best possible quality of life.
