A pan-european survey on palliative care development from an EAPC Task Force

Resumen:
ICS It is only relatively recently that studies and initiatives that generate comparative analyses of palliative care development within European countries and contexts have begun to occur. One such initiative is the European Association for Palliative Care Task Force on the Development of Palliative Care in Europe, which was founded in 2003 under the leadership of Professor Carlos Centeno. The work of the Task Force encompasses the World Health Organization European Region (a vast geographic area of 53 countries, with a population of 879 million people).
