Description
Fernanda Bastos and co-authors present a 2024 scoping review of palliative care growth in Africa since 2017. Africa carries the world's highest need for such care. The team searched journals, databases, and official sources, and charted progress against a world framework that now adds research and community empowerment to services, training, medicines, and policy.
Adult specialist services grew to 675, and fifteen of 54 countries now offer children's services. Training reached undergraduate programs in 29 countries, and morphine access widened. Yet service density stayed under 0.10 per 100,000 people in most places, and morphine use stayed low. The authors call for steady policy work.
