Palliative
Care in Ghana
- Palliative care is a new concept in Ghana.
- Initial thoughts – early 1990 when Mrs. May Osae Addae – CNO became a board member of International Society of Nurses in Cancer.
- She worked closely with the late Robert Tiffany of Royal Marsden Hospital to set up a similar society in Ghana.
- The society worked towards the establishment of oncology unit at Korle-Bu teaching hospital but all efforts were thwarted.
