The African Regional Meeting of the World Medical Association meeting on Saturday February 3, 2018 in Abuja Nigeria, physicians agreed to improving palliative care while clearly rejecting euthanasia and assisted suicide.
“We Africans reject Euthanasia and physician-assisted-suicide. We cannot assist patients, who may wish to end their lives, because the law of the country and WMA ethics of physicians does not permit us to take life.’’

The African physicians understand the issues of euthanasia and assisted suicide in a clear manner. They recognize that to intentionally kill or intentionally assist in a suicide is always wrong.
