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.”
