Description
Ngozi Idemili-Aronu leads a nine-author team that co-created a community palliative care package for rural Nigeria, where need is large and specialists are almost absent. Patients, caregivers, health workers, traditional and religious leaders, advocates, and policymakers built the package together, first ranking possible non-drug components by vote, then workshopping how it would actually run.
Fifty-one people joined virtual preparation sessions and forty-five a five-day workshop in Enugu, drawn from all six regions of the country. The group settled the package's parts, who delivers each one, where care happens, and how patients step up to facility-based basic palliative care when needed. Expert review polished the result into a form programmes could adopt directly.
