Recognizing the Unseen: Enhancing Family Caregiver Education in Morocco's Cancer Care.

During my thesis, I had the opportunity to work closely with family caregivers of cancer patients. This allowed me to meet these individuals and hear their stories filled with suffering. A large part of their complaints centered on the lack of information and training necessary to properly care for their ill relatives. Often, they find themselves responsible for a patient at home without possessing the required skills, sometimes knowing only the dosage of treatments to administer. This lack of training can lead to serious complications, such as bedsores in immobile patients or urinary infections. This experience underscores the critical need for comprehensive caregiver education in Morocco, a country where family caregivers play a crucial role in oncology care, especially in home-based support. To achieve this, the government, health care professionals, and NGOs must collaborate to develop accessible educational programs that equip caregivers with the necessary skills and knowledge.
