Dr Zirimenya from Uganda receive the 2nd place poster award and $200 reward. He is working with Hospice Africa Uganda, a Non-Governmental Organisation based in Uganda with a vision of Palliative care reaching all in need in Africa. His passion to help others in need saw him join Hospice Africa Uganda in 2009 as a volunteer doctor where he has grown through the system to currently head the clinical department. In his current role, he supervises clinical services across 3 different sites and a Morphine Production unit. He as well supports palliative care training and advocacy not only in Uganda but in other African countries like Rwanda, Kenya, Malawi and Ethiopia.
Dr. Zirimenya first submitted a poster abstract to international Palliative Care Network conference in 2015. Annually. he continued following subsequent calls for abstract submission.
He said "I view this online conference as an opportunity for us practitioners in resource limited settings to be able to share and update our knowledge as per the latest available evidence without being hindered by the high costs required to attend an international conference physically."
It is crucial to share up to date findings and teachings in resource poor settings in order for palliative care professionals to provide the best quality of life to patients and their families, worldwide. Your donations help Palliative Care Network reach these areas and make a significant difference. Thank you.
