TRAINING IN WOUND CARE AND HEALING - PALLIATIVE CARE - BENIN 2025

A mission to BENIN took place from October 3 to 10, 2025, in close collaboration with the Ministry of Health, the coordinator of the national palliative care program, and the Beninese Association for Palliative Care (ABSP). It focused on training in wound healing and palliative care. It was preceded by an initial e-learning course on "wounds and healing": a free, low-bandwidth course on the UNFM website. The mission focused on strengthening the skills of Beninese caregivers through practical workshops that allowed them to deepen their knowledge through clinical cases and demonstrations of dressings, led by experts from France and Benin. The primary objective was to train trainers, and the participants, selected by members of the Ministry of Health, were primarily nurses with a master's degree in palliative care, doctors, and midwives. Close support was provided to palliative care units, with discussions on practical clinical situations selected by the participants, which proved very useful in supplementing the continuing education of future trainers.
