Abstract

Abstract End of life care is an integral part of the global public health care system but it has differently gained scholarly attention and traction in the literature. This article demonstrates how end of life care service is perceived, provided and accessed via a comparative systematic review of the Ghanaians’ and Germans’ end of life care systems. These care perspectives unraveled innovative practices and form the basis for evidence-based future research.
