Curing cancer has become a priority for health systems and professionals from different fields, but, above all, for the patients that day in and day out face this disease that, despite advances, continues to be one of the main causes of death and impoverishment for many people and families both in Spain and abroad. Responding to this urgent need is essential and should be undertaken by  guaranteeing the research, access to treatment, care and financial aid needed, relying on the collaboration and commitment of all the parties involved. States have the responsibility to ensure the right to health and provide universal access to adequate treatments. It is also their responsibility to guarantee the upkeep of healthcare systems, providing them with the human and technical resources that ensure quality of care in terms of equity and social justice.

Cette ressource est en cours d’élaboration pour contribuer à soutenir et guider les personnes et les organisations en Europe qui cherchent à développer d’avantage l’offre de soins palliatifs dans le contexte des soins primaires. Les principes énoncés dans la Charte de Prague de l’EAPC, et en particulier la reconnaissance de l’accès aux soins palliatifs en tant que droit humain, sont à la base de ce travail.
