Clinical Manual of Palliative Care for Any Setting is an easy-to-use manual and  clinical guide designed to help medical doctors, clinical officers, nurse practitioners, and other healthcare professionals at all levels of healthcare systems to provide high-quality palliative care in any setting, particularly where healthcare resources are limited.
The manual provides guidance for adapting state-of-the-art symptom relief and psychosocial support to local cultural values, for combining palliative 
care with disease-directed treatment, and for integration of palliative care into healthcare systems. To maximize its usefulness in resource-limited settings 
where palliative care is least accessible and suffering most pervasive, it includes only medicines and equipment that are safe, effective, inexpensive, 
and widely available in most low- and middle-income countries. The manual is a product of the Program in Global Palliative Care at Harvard Medical School 
and its network of dedicated partners working in low- and middle-income settings toward universal access to palliative care.
