The demand for palliative care for terminally ill patients is rising globally. This review examines the potential of health worker education to enhance palliative care in Africa. A search of PubMed yielded 32 relevant articles published in English from 2013 to 2023 focused on African countries with WHO-categorized palliative care development and health care worker training. The findings underscore the pivotal role of health care worker education in elevating palliative care standards. Targeted initiatives equip health care workers with vital skills in pain management, symptom control, and communication. The integration of palliative care into public health systems is important for the sustainability of end-of-life care for terminally ill patients in Africa and around the world.
