The conference will focus on the outcomes of the Sunita Project (2022–2025). Sunita is a UK Aid Match Funded project delivered by INF Nepal and EMMS International, a Scottish health development charity.
Led from the Green Pastures Hospital, Palliative Care and Chronic Disease (PCCD) unit (https://www.inf.org/our-work/palliative-care/) the Sunita Project has provided training and support to health workers and Female Community Health Volunteers (FCHV) in rural areas. The project has also focused on awareness building in communities through schools and health related community groups. During the three year project a model of rural primary palliative care which is guided by the National Strategy for Palliative Care (2017) has been created.
In order to ensure the outcomes of the model development are evidenced based, Sunita Project has included a substantial research programme which has been delivered in partnership with the Global Health Academy, University of Edinburgh.
The Sunita Project will be completed on 31st March 2025 and emerging outcomes from the project will be presented at the conference. The conference will also include presentations from partner organisations delivering palliative care in rural Nepal and international guests who will present from other contexts in South Asia and Africa.
