Working together to advocate access to palliative care as a human right

You can also participate by signing the petition and supporting this effort!

The petition requests governments to work in four areas:

1. To develop health policies, which address the needs of patients with life-limiting or terminal illnesses,
2. To ensure access to essential medicines, including controlled medications, to all who need them,
3. To ensure that healthcare workers receive adequate training on palliative care and pain management at undergraduate and subsequent levels,
4. To ensure the integration palliative care into healthcare systems at all levels.

Please help us in our efforts to bring attention to this issue by signing and sharing this with your colleagues and friends!
