Cancer care
Cancer affects many people in Bulgaria. Each person’s condition and outlook depend on many factors. The support Queen Eleonora's Hospice - Varna can offer your loved one is guided by their prognosis, needs and expectations.
- help with physical recovery after long, demanding treatment
- support for emotional recovery after treatment
A long course of illness and treatment is physically and emotionally exhausting for patients and their families. Recovery therefore calls for a comprehensive approach.
Palliative care for terminally ill patients
When a cure is no longer possible, palliative care focuses on easing pain and other symptoms, preserving dignity and making the patient as comfortable as possible. At Queen Eleonora's Hospice - Varna, medical care goes hand in hand with attention, understanding and emotional support for patients and their families. Family presence, peace of mind and compassion matter greatly during this difficult time. With experience and a personal approach, we help people face it with support and the reassurance that they are not alone.

What our patients and their families say
Thank you to everyone at Queen Eleonora's Hospice - Varna for the care you gave my father. He arrived with a tracheostomy and a catheter and needed continence care. After five months of intensive care and rehabilitation, he is coming home walking independently and in good health. May God grant you and your families health and a long life. Your kindness and patience are priceless!

I stayed for 90 days and was cared for with great warmth and attention. I love you all and wish you health and happiness. Thanks to your care and kindness, I can walk and look after myself again.

DaughterI have lived abroad for many years. My father had a stroke two years ago and uses a wheelchair. After my mother died, I brought him to Queen Eleonora's Hospice - Varna. I was very unsure, but now I know I made the right choice. The standard of care is high. I can speak to my father on Skype, which gives me peace of mind. Thank you for being there. I do not know what I would have done without you!

Son and daughterAfter a serious illness, I came to the hospice and was welcomed warmly by Ms Petrova, who showed real concern for my health. I felt I was joining a caring family, and I was right. For six months I lived here in very good conditions and was treated with warmth and kindness. I was not alone at New Year, on Babinden or on 8 March. None of us was alone: we were together like a family, even though we were far from our own. Ms Petrova made that possible. My sincere thanks to the whole team for your attention, care and kindness. I wish you health and good fortune so that you can continue this noble work.
