We are pleased to announce that APCA's 2013 conference will be held in Johannesburg, South Africa, in partnership with the Hospice Palliative Care Association of South Africa (HPCA)  on 17-20 September 2013.

As this will be APCA's fourth triennial conference, we invite you to experience new engaging insights into patient-centric palliative care delivery and to enjoy the networking opportunities the conference provides.

Forefront to our preparations is the aim of developing new partnerships that would attract members of the global health community who may have not had direct exposure to palliative care in their field of work.

We are also expanding our target audience to include partners from Francophone and Lusophone countries that have traditionally had low participation in the global palliative care dialogue. We look forward to sharing this opportunity for learning and collaboration with our African and international partners.

If you are interested in participating in the conference, funding a workshop participant or a track, or suggesting workshop session themes, please contact us: info@africanpalliativecare.org.
