Thuna Foundation

Thuna Foundation · Palliative Care

A kinder tomorrow, together.

We stand beside people living with serious illness — and the families who care for them — with comfort, dignity and hope.

Who we are

Support, side by side.

Thuna means to stand beside someone. That single word is our whole idea — people supporting people — and it is what we do for families living with serious illness.

We bring palliative care home: comfort, dignity and companionship, alongside medical support —care beyond cure, for as long as it is needed.

Our promise

Our services

Care that reaches home.

Every part of what we do exists to make hard days gentler — for the person who is ill, and for the family standing beside them.

Home-based palliative care

Regular home visits that bring medical care, comfort and familiarity to where life actually happens.

Pain & symptom relief

Careful attention to pain, breathlessness and other symptoms — so days can be lived, not just endured.

Nursing & medical support

Skilled nursing, wound care and medication support, coordinated with the family’s doctors.

Family & emotional support

Counselling and respite for families — because the ones who care also need care.

Volunteer & companion care

Trained volunteers who sit, listen and stand beside — the heart of the Thuna idea.

Awareness & training

Community education and caregiver training that spread compassionate care further, every year.

Our values

The heart behind everything we do

Compassion

We lead with empathy — in every visit, every conversation, every small kindness.

Community

Care is something we do together, never something we do to people.

Dignity

Every person is met with respect, whatever their condition or circumstance.

Hope

A kinder tomorrow is always possible. We hold that belief with every family we walk beside.

Why Thuna

Because care is more than treatment.

01

Care beyond cure

When treatment can no longer do everything, care still can do a great deal — easing pain, restoring dignity, keeping hope alive.

02

At home, beside the family

We care where life happens — at home, surrounded by the people and the places that matter most.

03

Dignity in every step

Respect, patience and gentleness in every visit — for every person, every time, without exception.
