Palliative care in Kenya: report of the International Association of Hospice and Palliative Care Traveling Fellowship.
In August and September 2001, Dr. David Allbrook from Perth, Western Australia, traveled to Maua Methodist Hospital, North Meru District, Kenya, on an International Association for Hospice and Palliative Care Traveling Fellowship. The visit of Professor Allbrook provided a valuable opportunity that enabled Dr. Dietmar Ziegler, and the staff at Maua Methodist Hospital to put together a workable proposal for a sustainable community-based palliative care program.
