We are delighted to share with our members and readers our new vision statement. The new statement, which was unanimously approved by all the members of the International Association for Hospice and Palliative Care Board of Directors (IAHPC), reads as follows.
Our vision is universal access to high-quality palliative care, integrated into all levels of healthcare systems in a continuum of care with disease prevention, early diagnosis and treatment, to assure that any patient’s or family caregiver’s suffering is relieved to the greatest extent possible.
The new vision statement is now available on the IAHPC website.
