On September 20-21, the United Nations will be holding a High Level Meeting to raise the issue of addressing noncommunicable diseases around the world.
Hospice and palliative care supporters around the world have been advocating for UN member states to include commitments to palliative care in the political declaration. We need to see countries give strong commitments on palliative care development.
We would very much value the support of people who are in contact with their policy makers at the national and local level so if you are interested in helping us with hospice and palliative care advocacy, please get in contact with cmorris@thewpca.org
