Addressing the Critical Gap: Ensuring Urgent Access to Palliative Care Services with Essential Medications in Nepal
This article discusses the existing efforts and noteworthy initiatives implemented by healthcare institutions. However, these efforts are currently limited in scale. We recommend including essential palliative care medicines in government healthcare policies, establishing training programs for healthcare professionals, and developing comprehensive policies with detailed field research work to meet the growing demand. Addressing these issues will significantly improve the quality of life for palliative care patients in Nepal.PMID:38441942 | DOI:10.1080/15360288.2024.2320384 (Source: Journal of Pain and Palliative Care Pharmacotherapy)

The differential needs and expectations from general practitioners in oncology between high-income countries and low- and-middle-income countries: results from a survey of Canadian and Nepali oncologists
CONCLUSION: We found many similarities in oncologist's opinions of GPOs between the two countries, however, there were also some notable differences such as the need to provide cancer screening services in Nepal. This highlights the need to tailor GPO training programs based on local context.PMID:38439813 | PMC:PMC10911672 | DOI:10.3332/ecancer.2024.1673 (Source: Ecancermedicalscience)
