KELIN has been partnering with the Kenya Hospices and Palliative Care Association (KEHPCA) to progressively scale up integration of easily accessible and more affordable legal services in palliative care. This collaboration delivered of a series of sensitization forums for practicing advocates, health care service providers, community paralegals, patients and their families including free legal aid and awareness clinics. As a result there has been progressive demand from palliative care service providers, patients and their families for legal advice which trained health care workers, paralegals and lawyers collaborate in providing.
Now more than ever, there has been increased national level legal and policy advocacy agitating for recognition and development of a proper legal framework for palliative care in Kenya.
Join KELIN and KEHPCA in a unique workshop to deliberate on key legal and ethical concerns, familiarize with relevant legal and human rights framework and to share best practices to inform practice in palliative care. The workshop will take place during the 4th National Palliative Care Conference which takes place from 12 to 14 November 2014 at the Laico Regency Hotel in Nairobi. A panel of legal and health experts; working with palliative care patients and families in various hospices in Kenya to provide legal assistance, will guide the discussions in this workshop.
