Using compassionate communities to improve palliative care initiatives in low-income urban settings in Cape Town, South Africa
This project addresses the need to enhance palliative care (PC) in South Africa by establishing Compassionate Communities of Care (CCCs), focusing on community-led support for advanced illness patients. It leverages partnerships and lessons from global initiatives. The project aims to establish CCCs, improve PC interactions, and integrate the CCC framework into research and capacity-building efforts. Key outcomes include community ownership, heightened awareness, and sustainable collaboration.
