It will also appeal to health care professionals interested in ethics, healthcare systems, and development within an international context, as well as to policy makers and planners." - CABI
"...this is a very interesting review of the developments in hospice care in Africa and is a great addition to this area. It provides a thorough background in current challenges and opportunities for service providers, researchers and donors, among many others. It could inspire and generate more research in this area in the near future." - Journal of Advanced Nursing,
"As the available literature in palliative care provision from Africa is very limited, the data offered within this book provide valuable information for individuals already involved in palliative care and those studying palliative care in developing countries." - Journal of Advanced Nursing,
"Wright and Clark's inspiring book is a much-needed addition to the largely neglected area of palliative care research in Africa. It provides a thorough background in current challenges and opportunities for key stakeholders, including service providers, researchers, and donors among many others. Let us hope that the next review of palliative care across Africa will show an increased accessibility for care." - Lancet
