Palliative care nurse at Kinondoni Community Hospital

I've been a nurse for 27 years, most of them in palliative care at Kinondoni Community Hospital in Kinondoni. Night shifts taught me patience, and patients taught me everything else. The thing I'm proudest of is that families usually remember my name. I run most mornings. Hearing from old faces is the best part of my week.

I still get cards from families years later. They're pinned to my fridge.

What gifts mean to Lilian: I'd put gifts toward a training course in palliative care.
