Background
With the rise of non-communicable diseases in Tanzania, palliative care (PC) is increasingly needed to improve the quality of life for these patients through pain and symptom management and providing psychological care, social and spiritual support. Despite a larger portion of the population having access to healthcare services at primary healthcare (PHC) facilities in Tanzania, PC services are limited and less organised at this level. This study explored the challenges facing the provision of PC and the opportunities for strengthening PC services at PHC facilities in Tanzania.

Methods
We adopted an exploratory qualitative case study to conduct in-depth interviews with 15 health facilities in charge from 15 purposefully selected PHC facilities in Dar es Salaam City, Tanzania, in August 2023. We analysed the gathered information using qualitative content analysis.

Results
Two categories emerged from the analysis of the gathered information. These are (1) challenges facing the provision of PC services at PHC facilities and (2) opportunities for strengthening PC services at PHC facilities. The challenges are grouped as provider-level, facility-level and patient-level challenges. The opportunities are organised into three subcategories. These are the increasing demand for PC services, the availability of multiple supporting systems and a functional referral system.

Conclusion
This study underscores the challenges and opportunities for providing PC services at PHC facilities. These findings call for a collaborative effort from health system players to strengthen the available PC services. The efforts should include expanding the coverage of PC services at the PHC facilities and healthcare providers’ training. Expansion of PC services should include introducing them in places where they are unavailable and improving them where they are not available. PC training should consider preservice training in the health training institutions’ curricula and continued medical education to the existing staff. Furthermore, we recommend community health education to raise awareness of PC services.
