As the Group of Eight (G8) world leaders meet in Saint Petersburg, Russia for this year’s G8 Summit, it is important to take stock of internation...al efforts to finance the response to the global HIV/AIDS epidemic.

The Atlas is an... update of the original WHPCA/WHO Global Atlas of Palliative care at the end of life published in 2014.
