Every year we mark, celebrate, and take the opportunity to advocate for People Living with Palliative Care Needs (PLWPCNs) every second Saturday of October. This year, World Hospice and Palliative Care Day (WHPCD) will be on Saturday 12 October 2024.
The year 2024 marks 10 years since the World Health Assembly (WHO’s Governing Body) passed the only stand-alone resolution on palliative care, calling for all countries to “strengthen palliative care as a component of comprehensive care throughout the life course.” This is what inspired the theme for 2024.
