Mission 2023

Improving the quality of life of people suffering from serious, potentially fatal illnesses is a new concept in French-speaking Africa and is a major concern for the "Alliance Mondiale Contre le Cancer" (AMCC), which has been working for years on the theme of "pain and palliative care" through several training initiatives in different countries in the sub-region, in partnership with Hospice Africa Uganda and its French branch, Hospice Africa France. In Benin, more than 70,000 people are thought to need palliative care each year due to cancer, AIDS and other non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The AMCC's palliative care and pain management programme is back on track after a period of uncertainty linked to the Covid pandemic. The team in charge of this programme organised a mission to Benin from 8 to 19 September 2023.
