The International Association for Hospice and Palliative Care (IAHPC) together with the University of Miami Institute for Advanced Study of the Americas (UMIA), and the Mexican Health Foundation (FUNSALUD) are launching a platform to facilitate access to the data produced by the Lancet Commission on Global Access to Palliative Care and Pain Relief (LCGAPR) for advocates, academics, public health experts and policy makers.
The platform, created by researchers at UMIA and FUNSALUD, works in Tablea and enables users to calculate serious health related suffering (SHS) and the need for palliative care by income and geographic region for a vast number of countries. The platform is housed in the IAHPC website, as a service to the global palliative care community.
