Patient-centered care (PCC) is a key domain of healthcare quality. Its importance is driven by evidence-based medicine, the predominance of chronic conditions requiring self-care, and the recognition of the priority of patient goals, values, priorities, and preferences in determining care plans. This article emphasizes the urgent need for Africa to develop PCC and a workforce committed to its implementation, as well as highlights an initiative by African medical students to champion PCC continent-wide. Embracing this transformative approach presents Africa with an unprecedented opportunity to improve care for each person. Through a comprehensive exploration of unique strategies and considerations in African health professions education, this viewpoint seeks to spark dialogue and inspire action towards a future where patient-centered care is the foundation of healthcare delivery in Africa.
以患者为中心的护理（PCC）是医疗质量的一个关键领域。其重要性源于循证医学、需要自我护理的慢性病的主导地位，以及在确定护理计划时认识到患者目标、价值观、优先事项和偏好的优先性。本文强调非洲迫切需要发展以患者为中心的护理以及致力于实施该护理的劳动力队伍，并突出了非洲医学生在全非洲倡导以患者为中心的护理的一项倡议。采用这种变革性方法为非洲提供了一个前所未有的机会来改善对每个人的护理。通过全面探索非洲卫生专业教育中的独特策略和考虑因素，这一观点旨在引发对话，并激励人们朝着一个以患者为中心的护理成为非洲医疗服务基础的未来采取行动。
