Mapping levels of palliative development: a global view

from The International Observatory on End of Life Care, Lancaster University, UK (via National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization)“Around half of the 234 countries included in this review have established one or more hospice-palliative care services. Yet only 35 (15%) countries have achieved a measure of integration with wider mainstream service providers. In 78 (33%) countries, no palliative care activity can be identified.”
