Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Supportive and palliative care is not just end-of-life care; it’s a specialised medical care approach focused on improving a person’s quality of life by managing symptoms and side effects of cancer and its treatment.
It can be beneficial at any stage of the cancer experience, including living with cancer and cancer survivorship, to address physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs.
Urgent, evidence-based, coordinated action must be taken, otherwise countries, health systems, and communities will be unprepared to meet the growing supportive and palliative care demand, and millions of people around the world will experience preventable suffering.”
