23 selected for cohort II of Africa Health Collaborative palliative care workshop [Video]

Twenty-three primary health personnel across the country have been selected to participate in this year’s basic palliative healthcare workshop.

The course by the Africa Higher Education Health Collaborative in partnership with Mastercard Foundation is meant to build the capacity of beneficiaries to provide quality healthcare for patients with serious illnesses, such as cancer.

The workshop, which is in partnership with the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, University of Toronto and the Ministry of Health, is facilitated by the Health Employment pillar of the Collaborative.

The Health Employment pillar led by Dr. Kofi Akohene Mensah aims to expand and improve current capacities to train primary healthcare workers.

After the course, Dr. Akohene Mensah expects beneficiaries to be innovative and share their experiences with colleagues.

“Please, once you go back, share with your other colleagues in your respective facilities and please start something in your facility,” he said.
