Every year, on October 12th, we celebrate World Palliative Care and Hospice Day, and this year marks the 10th anniversary of the World Health Assembly’s resolution on palliative care, which calls for strengthening this care within health systems. The theme for this year is “Ten Years of the Resolution: How Far Have We Come?”, highlighting the need to address gaps in palliative care services, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Many achievements have been made, but there is still a long way to go to ensure that no one suffers due to inadequate policies. Let’s commit to making our voices heard and supporting the integration of palliative care into universal health coverage.
