The Narayanganj Palliative Care team is building a compassionate community working towards UHC in Bangladesh. Palliative Care Assistants (PCAs) are community health workers on the front line of delivering essential palliative care services to the most vulnerable and marginalised in their community. The PCAs are young women, and one young man, recruited from the community and trained on core concepts of palliative care by doctors, nurses and other team members at the Centre for Palliative Care at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) in Dhaka.
