The University of British Columbia Meets ACREOL Global 🇨🇦🤝🇷🇼

When global perspectives meet local realities, learning goes both ways.

Perspectives from the University of British Columbia (UBC) met the realities of palliative care in Rwanda during a visit to the ACREOL Global office by Dr. Sarah Broder, Respirologist/GIM, Clinical Assistant Professor at UBC, and a Medical Director of Palliative Care from Canada who has been in Rwanda working with the clinical teaching units at University Teaching Hospital of Butare (CHUB).

Her experiences at CHUB and hearing about Dr. Christian Ntizimira’s work in Palliative Care sparked a curiosity to connect firsthand. During the visit, she witnessed how palliative care in our context values culture, family, and Ubuntu philosophy in caring for patients and their loved ones.
