A new editorial has just been published in ecancermedicalscience discussing a set of online learning modules on Palliative Care, aimed at sub-Saharan African health professionals. The project members include Cardiff University, the Virtual University of Cancer Control (VUCCnet) and ecancer, and is funded by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
The editorial describes the urgent need to increase the availability of palliative care provision in Africa and discusses the process which led to the creation of the free, openly accessible modules.
The World Cancer Declaration recognises that to make major reductions in premature deaths, innovative education and training opportunities for healthcare workers in all disciplines of cancer control need to improve significantly.
ecancer plays a critical part in improving access to education for medical professionals.
Every day we help doctors, nurses, patients and their advocates to further their knowledge and improve the quality of care. Please make a donation to support our ongoing work.
