Zambia (population 10.7 million) is a landlocked country in Southern Africa that covers an area of 5, 664 km2. Palliative care is provided by six organizations delivering a total of twenty services. A feature of Zambian palliative care services is the prominence of the inpatient unit. The chapter describes the Mother of Mercy Hospice, Jon Hospice, Ranchhod House, Our Lady's Hospice, Martin Hospice, and Cicetekelo Hospice (Ndola Hospice).
