The second edition of the WHPCA Global Atlas of Palliative Care was launched during World ... & Palliative Care Day 10 October. The Atlas is an update of the original WHPCA/WHO Global Atlas of Palliative care at the end of life published in 2014.

What resources are devoted to palliative care? What is the way forward?
