Today is World Hospice and Palliative Care Day, a unified day of action to celebrate and support hospice and palliative care around the world. This day has been observed annually for the past 20 years, and we're proud to advocate for better hospice and palliative care services around the world. The World Hospice and Palliative Care Alliance (WHPCA) has announced the theme for 2024: “Ten Years Since the Resolution: How are we doing?” This theme reflects the progress made since the 2024 World Health Assembly resolution, which called for all countries to integrate palliative care into comprehensive care throughout a person’s life. Over the years, there have been significant advancements in integrating palliative care into healthcare systems worldwide. However, there is still work to be done, specifically in low and –middle income countries, where the need for palliative care is largely unmet. Join us as we raise our voices and advocate for the millions of people who need hospice and palliative care services each year. #TenYearsSinceTheResolution Learn more and access resources through the WHPCA website: https://lnkd.in/eVFDFEfD
