The World Health Organization (WHO) describes palliative care as an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing the problems associated with life-threatening illnesses, through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification and impeccable assessment and treatment of pain and other problems, physical, psychosocial, and spiritual. Each year, 40 million people are estimated to be in need of palliative care with 78% of these people living in low and middle-income countries. In spite of this, only about 14% of people worldwide who need palliative care currently receive it. Given these statistics, it is evident that adequate training on palliative care among health care professionals is essential in improving access to palliative care.
This course aims at delivering basic training in palliative care to health care and social care workers and promoting the use of a multidisciplinary approach to palliative care. The course tackles a wide array of topics categorized under 6 modules which will serve to:
