Oceanic Palliative Care Conference Statement
Palliative Care Australia has released a Conference Statement following the hugely successful 2021 Virtual Oceanic Palliative Care Conference which was held in September.
With over 1000 delegates from across the globe attending, the conference theme Invest Challenge Change, built on the continuing global push to ensure that we build better, more resilient health systems designed to meet critical health and palliative care needs in normal circumstances, and are sufficiently resourced to meet needs during times of emergency and crisis.
The Conference Statement represents the delegates’ commitment to ensuring access to quality palliative care for all, across all Oceanic nations. You can read the statement and download a PDF from Palliative Care Australia’s website HERE.
