Providing Palliative Care in Kenya
Organization information

Summary
Palliative care is more than hospice; it optimizes symptom management, nurtures spiritual support, and provides psychosocial services for individuals with life-threatening illnesses. The importance of symptom management is increasingly recognized worldwide; however, the need in low-income countries such as Kenya is becoming more pressing. Not only are palliative care medications scarce, but also there is a lack of specialty care providers in the country.
