Cynthia Goh Palliative Care Fellowship (Doctors only)

About

Every year, an estimated 56.8 million people require palliative care, but only 14% of this number currently receive it.1 The world is in desperate need of clinician leaders and policy reform to raise the quality of care for the terminally ill.

The inaugural Cynthia Goh Palliative Care Fellowship (CGF) (Doctors only) aims to identify and develop the next generation of palliative care leaders in the Asia-Pacific region. Established in honour of the late Professor Cynthia Goh, a trailblazer of Singapore’s palliative care service, the CGF (Doctors only) seeks to create a regional fraternity that will advance the development of palliative care in the region.

Recipients can tailor their fellowship to individual needs and aspirations. It is implemented by the Asia Pacific Hospice Palliative Care Network (APHN) with support and direction from Lien Foundation.

The CGF (Doctors only) seeks to support 30 palliative care leaders over the next five years. At the end of the fellowship, the fellows will be equipped to advocate for:

  • Laws that acknowledge and define palliative care as part of the healthcare system.
  • National strategy for the implementation of palliative care.
  • National standards defining how palliative care programmes must operate.
  • Clinical guidelines for the delivery of palliative care services.
  • Recognition of palliative care as a medical specialty or sub-specialty.
