Making Advance Care Planning a part of cancer patients' end-of-life care in Rwanda.

After the devastating damage inflicted by the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, Rwanda made great strides in reconstructing its healthcare system from scratch. Although cancer mortality rates continue to rise, there is still a dearth of qualified healthcare workers for advance care planning (ACP) for terminally ill patients. I will draw on lessons learned through the literature search for the initiation of ACP and reflect on their adaptation to the existing policies, healthcare systems, and workforce in Rwanda.
