Abstract
The importance of palliative care at home has been highlighted in the literature; however, the fact remains that its recent introduction in Central Africa faces a number of major challenges. These challenges form the backdrop of the reflection, which aims to lead to lessons to be learned of interest to the nine countries that make up the Central African zone (Angola, Cameroon, Congo, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Sao Tome, and Principé, Chad) with which we associate Burundi and Rwanda because they share the same general health issues with regard to the palliative care of patients at home. The aim is to improve the quality of life of those who suffer and die at home due to lack of care.
