Development of Palliative Care: Past, Present, and Future
摘要
Palliative care is an essential element of any health care system and a component of comprehensive and integrated care. Access to good palliative care is a basic human right. Palliative care has evolved since its modern foundation: the British Hospice model proposed building comprehensive models of care (responding to all dimensions of needs of patients). Palliative care has since spread into all the different settings of the health care systems.
