Report on palliative care development in Benin based on WHO indicators
Palliative care (PC) is increasingly seen as a global health issue. This report exa- mines the current state of PC in Benin, Africa, and the challenges the country faces in providing accessible and effec- tive PC to its citizens.
It has been estimated that more than 62,000 Beninese people need PC every year. The report highlights the importance of PC and the efforts of organisations such as the World Health Assembly, the Lancet Commission and the Astana Declaration to encourage governments to integrate PC into their health plans and make it accessible to all.
