Résumé

Palliative care is an approach that improves the quality of lives of patients and their families when facing problems associated with life-limiting illness, whether physical, psychosocial, or spiritual. It is acknowledged as a crucial part of integrated, people-centered health services and a human right. In 2014, WHO Member States endorsed the World Health Assembly Resolution 67.19 on Strengthening of Palliative Care as a component of comprehensive care throughout the life course, recognizing the importance of palliative care for the attainment of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and highlighting the opportunities to advance its integration into health systems through primary health care and home-based care services.
