“…That is, knowledge of the definition of psychomotor development improved with increasing years of pediatric practice. These results are supported by the theory of P. Benner, quoted by Prudencio RDTK 16 . Benner’s theory that «seniority is associated with the development of the professional abilities of the providers» and adds: ‘it is an indicator to judge the experience acquired by a professional in the exercise of his profession’.…”

“…Men were the most represented with 61.5%, sex ratio male/female of 1.6. These results are similar to those of Prudencio RDTK 16 in an evaluation of nursing knowledge and practice in the accompaniment of patients at the end of life in the medical services of the Hubert-K.-Maga National Hospital and University Center in Cotonou (Benin), this being linked to the fact that men constitute the majority of care providers in our countries, given that women’s professional activity is lower than that of men 17 . The average age was 27.62±5.07 years.…”

Introduction: Development refers to change. The study of development is the understanding of how a subject functions at a particular age or time in life. The objective of this study was to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice of pediatric healthcare personnel on the psychomotor development of the child. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of knowledge, attitude, and practice conducted in the health areas of South Kivu. Results: Twenty-six caregivers participated in the survey. Men were the most represented (61.5%), mean age 27.62±5.07 years; median experience in pediatrics: 1 year; predominantly urban setting with 69.2%. General practitioners were more represented, with 57.7%. The overall state of knowledge was insufficient in 69.2%. Knowledge1 improves with increasing experience in pediatrics (P=0.008), and qualification improves knowledge1 (P=0.033) and knowledge3 (P=0.009). Knowledge4 improved from rural to urban settings (P=0.022). A good knowledge of the scales used in the evaluation of psychomotor development influences the use of one or the other (P=0.000). The authors also notice that those who indicate and/or have physical therapy practiced in rehabilitation are generally those who have a good knowledge of the use of psychomotor development assessment tools (P=0.010). Conclusion: This study highlights the low theoretical knowledge of caregivers on psychomotor development in our study setting, resulting in late diagnosis and consequently poor treatment of psychomotor development disorders. The results of this study indicate a need for continuing education for pediatric caregivers on the psychomotor development of the child.

“…The 2022 Congress was jointly organized by the National Palliative Care Program (PNSP) and the Beninese Association for Palliative Care (ABSP) under the sponsorship of the Beninese Minister of Health. Although no publications specific to palliative care were found in indexed databases, a new publication published as an abstract in the abstract book is about to be published [ 15 , 16 ], and there is some clinical literature concerning CNMU HKM [ 17 ] and a project to create a PC-related research group led by PNSP.…”

“…While palliative care-oriented research has not yet advanced in Benin (except for some isolated clinical literature [ 11 , 17 ]), the organization, in October 2022, of the first congress on palliative care in Cotonou by the ABSP and PNSP, shows interest in research and allows the dissemination of knowledge about PC. In fact, research in due course is shown in the abstract book and at least one is already an “in press” scientific article on the clinical socioeconomic profile of patients followed by specialized PC teams in Benin [ 16 ].…”

Context Palliative care (PC) in most African countries remains under-assessed. Benin has piloted the implementation of a set of indicators proposed by the WHO to measure PC development. Objectives To examine the current status of PC in Benin. Methods A workshop with stakeholders was organized to assess the WHO indicators in the Beninese context. Indicators were rated based on relevance and feasibility, data sources were agreed upon, and a survey was adapted. Data were collected between March and May 2023. Results There is emerging community involvement in PC through the presence of patients’ rights promoters, as well as a political commitment expressed in the National PC strategy, the inclusion of PC services in the list of basic health services, and an assigned national authority –within the Ministry of Health–responsible for PC. Although no PC-oriented research has been documented, the celebration of the National PC Conference represents the first step to ground PC delivery in evidence. The reported annual consumption of opioids is 0.18 (ME) milligrams per capita, 34% of healthcare establishments have essential medicines for pain and PC, and 16.5% of patients with palliative needs have access to oral morphine. To date, no medical or paramedical schools offer PC training, and there is no official specialization in palliative medicine for doctors. PC is provided by 11 specialist teams (0.08/100,000 inhabitants), none of which provides pediatric care. Conclusion Despite growing political, professional, and community commitments to palliative care, there are challenges in education, research, essential medicines, and access to PC services.

Context Palliative care (PC) situation in most African countries remains underdiagnosed. Benin has piloted the implementation of a set of indicators proposed by the WHO to measure PC development. Objectives To examine the current state of PC in Benin. Methods A workshop with stakeholders was organized to validate the WHO indicators in the Beninese context. Indicators were rated by relevance and feasibility, data sources were agreed, and a survey adapted. Data were collected between March and May 2023. Results There is emerging community involvement in PC through the presence of patients' rights promoters, as well as a political commitment expressed in the National PC strategy, the inclusion of PC services in the list of basic health services, and an assigned national authority –within the Ministry of Health- responsible for PC.
