Palliative care Education and Research Consortium (PcERC)
Palliative Care for All in Uganda and Beyond
About us
We are the Palliative care Education and Research Consortium (PcERC), working in partnership with Makerere-Mulago Palliative Care Unit (MMPCU). Our goal is to provide quality palliative care for all in Uganda and beyond.
Our mission is to operate a centre of excellence which improves access to quality, evidence-based palliative care for patients and famileis in need through deliverting and integrated clinical service, carrying out research, advocacy, training and capacity building, in collaboration with partners.
I like to spend all of my time with the patients. When caring for a patient, I listen, and when necessary, I respond.
- Vicky Jemimah, social worker volunteer
We are advocating for more students to attend clinical instruction in palliative care (not just classroom learning).
