Rwanda Leading the Global Dialogue on Palliative Care

Funded by EMMS International, by September 2027, ACREOL Global in partnership with University Global Health Equity (UGHE) aims to establish a comprehensive, policy-driven model for palliative care in Rwanda, improving services for end-stage non-communicable diseases (NCDs). This initiative will enhance community-based palliative care, integrate with existing PEN and PEN-Plus platforms, and contribute to Universal Health Coverage (SDG 3) by expanding access to nationally led NCD care. With a proven model in two provinces, the project seeks national integration aligned with the 2014 WHA Resolution on Palliative Care, securing funding to scale across all five provinces and serve as a replicable framework for other countries.
