Abstract

Within the framework of the last XVI EAPC Congress (Madrid, May 18-20, 2017), the need for palliative care around the world will increase at least three times by 2040. Therefore, assessing and analyzing such a need in our region is an urgent task for planning the proportion of different types of settings, such assistance, necessary human resources and facilities. It is crucial to predict which forms of palliative care giving will be needed. And which of them will be the most comfortable for the patient and his family members. That was our task.
