LINK Nurse, Kiruddu Hospital
I have learnt that palliative care is for every patient and their family, not only patients with cancer as I used to think before.

Undergraduate Medical Student
It was a very rewarding experience rotating in a palliative care unit. It has opened up my mind in regards looking at patients holistically ... I gained a lot of insight as far as breaking bad news.
Intern Doctor, Mulago Hospital
It was a wonderful opportunity to work with a very dedicated palliative care team that's knowledgeable and skilful and also committed to making a difference ... And I promised to do the same in practise.
Family Medicine Resident, Makerere
I gained incredible knowledge and timely skills, not only to integrate into my general practise, but this has prepared me to be a 5-star family doctor in all settings including a post-conflict South Sudan.
