In 2011, Rwanda's Ministry of Health set a goal of universal access to palliative care by 2020. Toward this audacious egalitarian and humanitarian goal, the Ministry of Health worked with partners to develop palliative care policies and a strategic plan, secure adequate supplies of opioid for the country, initiate palliative care training programs, and begin studying a model for integrating coordinated palliative care into the public health care system at all levels. It also initiated training of a new cadre of home-based care practitioners to provide palliative care in the home. Based on these developments, the goal appears within reach.
2011 年，卢旺达卫生部制定了到 2020 年普及姑息治疗的目标。为了实现这一宏伟的平等主义和人道主义目标，卫生部与合作伙伴一起制定了姑息治疗政策和战略计划，确保国内有足够的阿片类药物供应，启动姑息治疗培训计划，并开始研究将协调一致的姑息治疗纳入各级公共卫生保健系统的模式。它还启动了对新的家庭护理从业者的培训，以在家庭中提供姑息治疗。基于这些发展，这一目标似乎触手可及。
