An Educational Intervention in Palliative Care for Family Doctors

An educational project and support programme on cancer and palliative care for all rural family doctors in a remote province of a lower middle income country with a small budget is likely to be feasible. It may help to disseminate the principles of palliative care through providing new knowledge and skills to remote doctors; and consequently, the improvement of palliative care provision for cancer patients in remote areas of the province would be expected.
