To help people suffering from long-term debilitating illnesses, Partners In Health partnered with the Malawian Ministry of Health and the Palliative Care Support Trust, a charity based in Blantyre, to launch a palliative care program in 2012 in Malawi’s remote southern district of Neno. Since its inception, the program has provided clinic- and home-based care to 225 patients living with health conditions such as Kaposi sarcoma, cervical cancer, hypertension and stroke, and liver cirrhosis.
