The conference theme, Palliative Care in a Pandemic, reflects both the current reality of palliative care provision on the continent, the experiences of patients and providers over the last 2 years and the projected risks of emerging infectious diseases in Africa in the future. This demands a great deal of preparedness and creativity to ensure that whatever happens, systems and services exist for all patients, young and old, male and female, rural and urban and their families continue to get palliative and comprehensive chronic care services for both communicable and non-communicable diseases. 

APCA conferences are renowned for being a very effective platform to share research findings, best practices, and the experiences of interdisciplinary teams of health workers, patients and their families and communities as well as a ground to anticipate emerging problems and design actions that ensure preparedness leading to uninterrupted palliative and comprehensive chronic care service provision. This conference will also highlight the resourcefulness that we will all need to draw on now and in the future to ensure uninterrupted access to palliative care in Africa and the world beyond.
