Throughout the 2022/2023 financial year, the African Palliative Care Association made significant progress towards its 2020-2030 strategic goals. This was a special year as we organised the 4th African Ministers of Health Session, the 7th International African Palliative Care Conference, and a General Assembly in Kampala, Uganda, where a new board of directors was elected. Conducted in a hybrid format, these gatherings drew a diverse group of attendees, both physically and online, offering valuable insights and fostering a sense of community within the African and global palliative care network. We extend our gratitude to the outgoing board, led by Mr. Andre Wagner, and warmly welcome the new directors, looking forward to their contributions.
