As the attention of the world focused increasingly on Africa, the International Observatory on End of Life Care was commissioned to conduct a timely review of hospice and palliative care development across the continent. Information was collected against an agreed template to allow comparisons between countries and regions. As a result, an insight is given into the challenges, opportunitiesand successes faced by hospice and palliative care workers, country by country, throughout the 26 countries in Africa where a palliative care initiative is underway. Strategies and models of care are explored, and the development of palliative care is viewed from various standpoints includingethnographic, historical, ethnic, demographic and epidemiological perspectives.This is the first comprehensive reference focusing exclusively on palliative care and hospice development in Africa, and makes fascinating reading.
