Area of Science:

  • Global Health
  • Public Health Policy
  • Palliative Care

Background:

  • Palliative care (PC) assessment is limited in most African nations.
  • Benin has piloted World Health Organization (WHO) indicators to gauge PC development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the current state of palliative care in Benin.
  • Assessing the feasibility and relevance of WHO PC indicators within Benin's context.

Main Methods:

  • Stakeholder workshop to adapt and assess WHO PC indicators.
  • Data collection conducted between March and May 2023.
  • Survey adaptation and data source agreement.

Main Results:

  • Emerging community involvement and political commitment to PC noted.
  • Opioid consumption is low (0.18 ME mg/capita); 34% of facilities stock essential PC medicines.
  • Only 16.5% of patients access oral morphine; no PC training in educational institutions; limited specialist teams (0.08/100,000).

Conclusions:

  • Benin demonstrates growing political, professional, and community commitment to PC.
  • Significant gaps exist in PC education, research, essential medicine availability, and service accessibility.
  • Addressing these challenges is crucial for advancing PC in Benin.
