To enhance learning and knowledge translation in palliative care and related fields, KEHPCA has held biannual conferences since its inception. The last (5th) National Palliative Care Conference was held in 2018. Four years into the advent of COVID 19 in 2019 KEHPCA, and its partners have experienced much learning that brought new dimensions to the role of palliative care. The 2023 KEHPCA conference seeks to consolidate the lessons learned and share new lenses for palliative care. Specifically, the conference seeks to present palliative care through the lenses of equity and inclusivity and encourage access to palliative care by Whoever needs it, provided Whenever it is needed, Wherever the patient is by Whoever is able to provide the care.

Conference Aim and Objectives
The conference will aim to bring together people from Kenya, the African region, and the world to a forum for lesson sharing and knowledge translation for equitable and inclusive palliative care.
The theme focuses on highlighting the best practices and sharing lessons on enhancing the equity and inclusivity of palliative care provision and advancement. In order to address these rising needs, we cannot remain the same, but through the holistic lens, be creative to integrate and embrace palliative care that supports its inclusive access.
The focus will be equity through inclusivity on the beneficiaries of palliative care, the timing of palliative care, the setting of palliative care provision, and other stakeholders.
It is anticipated that the conference will enable a forum for lesson-sharing and knowledge translation to Kenyans and regional players on the imperative to address equitable and inclusive palliative care throughout the life course.
