EAPC Atlas of Palliative Care in Europe 2019
Conclusion: PC health policies developed in recent years have promoted vigorous development across Europe. Preliminary data on the integration of PC into different fields are encouraging though inequalities between countries and sub-regions persist. Further comparative analysis exploring factors leading to uneven progress may inform strategies to provide PC for all people in need. Per land is de stand van zaken van de (kinder)palliatieve zorg weergegeven.
