Through its English-language AAI Palliative Care digital training program, BVGH equipped nearly 2,000 healthcare providers around the world with newfound skills and knowledge to enhance the quality of life of cancer patients, especially those with late-stage disease. Building upon the successes of the English course and leveraging the Palliative Care Interdisciplinary Curriculum, BVGH led a 12-session Francophone AAI Palliative Care digital training program in collaboration with Hauteville Public Hospital Center; Balsam – The Lebanese Center for Palliative Care; and the National Cancer Control Program of Côte d’Ivoire. Through this program, 688 healthcare professionals from 26 countries attended lectures covering vital palliative care topics such as strategies to communicate with patients and their families, methods of managing pain and symptoms associated with end-of-life care, contextualizing palliative care principles to low-resource settings, and more.
