This study looked at how palliative care is being put into practice in public health facilities in South Africa. It found that health workers had different levels of confidence in providing care and faced challenges like limited staff, time, and training. Good teamwork, clear communication, and strong leadership were seen as important for better care. The study shows that more support, training, and involvement of frontline workers are needed to improve access to quality palliative care.
