Linked to the African Palliative Care Association conference, this exciting Summit will provide an opportunity for national associations to share achievements and learn from each other; e.g. in an expert fundraising training session. It will offer an opportunity to develop joint working on advocacy with Governments and policy makers and share useful learning so that national associations can ultimately make a greater impact for patients and their families.
