IAHPC International Directories
We have two international directories, a great resource for the global palliative care community in our website here. Your program and organization can be listed in these directories so that they are visible to the global palliative care community.
The two types of directories are:
- Global Directory of Service Providers and Organizations: This directory lists the organizations, palliative care organization and service providers around the globe. To date more than 800 listings are available in the directory. The listing includes contact information, address, and a description of the services provided.
- Global Directory of Educational Programs in Palliative Care: This directory lists the educational programs in palliative care by region, type of degree, language, costs, length of time and course content.
If you wish to add or modify and update an existing listing in these directories, click on the link above – you will find a special form to do so. Listing is free for all.
The construction and development of the educational directory was possible thanks to a grant from the US Cancer Pain Relief Committee. Additional funding which contributed to the development and construction of the directories, include funds from a grant for core support from Open Society Foundations.
We look forward to your submissions!
EAPC Atlas of Palliative Care in Europe, new version
The “EAPC Atlas of Palliative Care in Europe” promoted by the European Association for Palliative Care (EAPC) was presented for the first time at the 13th EAPC world congress of Palliative Care that took place in Prague from May 30th to June 2nd 2013. Researchers from an EAPC Task Force led by Professor Carlos Centeno at University of Navarra (Spain) and Professor David Clark at the University of Glasgow (UK), have coordinated this international study.
The Atlas is a key tool to promote policies and good practices across Europe and to assist the strategic development of new services.
