Kwanele Asante: It is time to honour the lived experiences of African and other indigenous peoples

Kwanele Asante, Award Winning Health & Human Rights Activist, posted the following on LinkedIn:

“This article.

Extensively quotes my thoughts on palliative-care and end of life choices as an African bioethicist and a patient who almost died from breast cancer treatment induced cardiomyopathy.

I argue that there a moral duty on all health professionals to seek to understand the languages, cultural and spiritual beliefs of African patients ~ especially those who are at the end of life.

Our Western medical trainings, clinical approaches and professional/personal beliefs are no longer the default position for a multicultural world.

It is time to decolonize medicine and honour the lived experiences of African and other indigenous peoples.”
