Health forms committee for Care and Pain

The Libyan Ministry of Health has issued a decision to establish the National Palliative Care Committee and the Care Enhancement Committee, with the aim of organizing and developing pain management services and alleviating patients’ suffering. The committee is responsible for setting national policies, preparing standardized protocols, supporting the establishment of palliative care units in hospitals, as well as providing essential medications and promoting training programs. The Palliative Care Unit at Tripoli Central Hospital, which began offering its services in 2024, is the first model of this specialty in Libya. It provides comprehensive services to relieve pain for advanced cases, especially cancer and chronic conditions, serving more than 200 patients through home follow-up programs, with the goal of improving patients’ quality of life and preserving their dignity. The approach focuses on delivering integrated healthcare that emphasizes alleviating suffering and ensuring patient well-being.
