The Association of Palliative Care Centres in South Africa emphasizes that early education about palliative care in communities can help prolong more lives. The World Health Organization estimates that 56.8 million people require palliative care each year, yet only about 14% of those in need currently receive it. The global demand for palliative care is expected to rise due to aging populations and the increasing prevalence of non-communicable and certain communicable diseases. Sisi Segalo has this report.

Early education about palliative care in communities encouraged

Libya has been grappling with political fragmentation and instability since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, leading to years of division between rival factions.

After more than a decade of turmoil, including a failed election attempt in 2021, talks happening in Morocco have brought together delegations from two key legislative bodies-the High Council of State in Tripoli and the House of Representatives in Benghazi.

In their discussions, they have agreed to work with the United Nations to pave the way for elections and form a national unity government, with a focus on institutional and security reforms.

However, scepticism remains among Libyans about whether these political leaders will genuinely cooperate for a peaceful resolution.

To discuss this, we are now joined on the line by Journalist and researcher Elizia Volkmann.
