APCA has appeared on the BBC World Service,[1] The Guardian[2] and across regional and national African press[3] advocating for better palliative care provision.
APCA was founded in Cape Town in 2002 after 28 palliative care trainers from across Africa met together and discussed the need for regional cooperation.
The group produced the Cape Town Declaration,[4] which holds palliative care, pain and symptom control as a human right for every adult and child with life-limiting illnesses.
Since then went to become the senior program officer for global advocacy with the International Palliative Care Initiative of the Open Society Foundations and currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer for Girls Not Brides; The Global Partnership to end Child Marriage.
Faith holds a Ph.D. in women's health and development and has published over 20 peer reviewed papers.
