摘要：
Multi-disciplinary palliative care is rarely integrated into the public health care system at all levels in Africa. In Kigali, Rwanda, we have developed palliative care services for cancer patients and other incurable diseases, such as renal and heart failure, progressive neurologic diseases, and late stage HIV/AIDS for pediatric and adult patients in a district hospital and linked these services to home care. This article aims to describe palliative care in Rwanda and to address end-of-life care issues in a post-genocide society.
