The International Palliative Care Initiative (IPCI) developed a roadmap to guide palliative care integration in resource-limited countries. Progress requires health professional engagement and political will for policy, education, medication, and service improvements.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Policy
  • Palliative Care Development

Background:

  • The International Palliative Care Initiative (IPCI) began supporting palliative care in Central/Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union in 1999.
  • Palliative care development is a public health concern requiring integration into policy, education, medication access, and services.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the Palliative Care Roadmap as a model for integrating palliative care in resource-constrained settings.
  • To outline key elements and steps for national palliative care development.

Main Methods:

  • Convened 25 country representatives to discuss palliative care needs.
  • Developed the Palliative Care Roadmap with Ministry of Health-approved working groups.
  • Established working groups focusing on policy, legislation, finance, medications, education, and service delivery.

Main Results:

  • The roadmap provides a framework with signposts for progress in palliative care integration.
  • Working groups address national health policy, essential medication availability (oral opioids), professional training, and service implementation.
  • Progress varies by country, with simultaneous but uneven development across working groups.

Conclusions:

  • The IPCI Roadmap offers a flexible framework for palliative care development in resource-limited countries.
  • Successful implementation necessitates active engagement from healthcare professionals and strong political commitment.
  • The roadmap facilitates structured progress in essential areas of palliative care.
