Palliative care in humanitarian crises has been a neglected area of healthcare. PallCHASE aims to improve
access to palliative care for people living through humanitarian crises through engagement in education, research and advocacy.
The next PallCHASE online webinar will be on 20th October 2021. For more information about PallCHASE or to join the PallCHASE network, visit our website www.PallCHASE.org. Alternatively, send an email to info@pallchase.org.
