Global Perspectives on Palliative Care

What?

Join us for a fundraising event for Hospice Ethiopia UK. If you are unable to join in person, please do join us online as the event will be live streamed.

This evening of talks will bring together four inspiring doctors and nurses who will share their insights into providing palliative care in East Africa and Latin America. We will end the evening with a panel discussion focusing on the challenges and opportunities in building palliative care services internationally. There will be an optional meet and greet before with light refreshments.

Why?

All money raised will go to Hospice Ethiopia UK. This small, volunteer-run charity promotes the provision of palliative care in Ethiopia, mainly through the direct funding of Hospice Ethiopia - a community hospice in Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa.

Who?

• Professor Nicola Ayers - Not Wanting to Upset...and so much more; the Importance of Culture in Palliative Care
• Dr Mariana Dittborn - Attitudes towards Palliative and End of Life Care in Latin American Context
• Dr Nuhamin Gebre - Improving Access to Palliative Care in the Community: Lessons from the Design and Implementation of Palliative Care Interventions in Ethiopia
