ELCTHEALTH visited Maryland University and Gilchrist Hospice for bidirectional learning opportunities to enhance their knowledge of best practices in hospice and palliative care. Through their partnership with Nkoaranga Palliative Care Program at Gilchrist Hospice, ELCTHEALTH gained valuable insights on integrating Palliative care services within healthcare systems and communities.

The visit included tours, discussions with healthcare professionals, patient communication, and holistic care. By incorporating international best practices learned during the visit, ELCTHEALTH aims to improve the quality of care for patients with life-limiting illnesses in Tanzania, benefiting from the mutual exchange of knowledge and expertise with their partners in the US.
