Palliative care: Marche’s plan must be measured in services

Leggi in italiano

On 11 November, Marche highlighted its two-year palliative-care plan, providing for 25 additional hospice beds and expanded teams including nine specialist doctors and other professionals. The announcement marks the national awareness day, but does not establish that every bed and appointment is operational. Practical evaluation concerns access to care at home and in facilities, not only institutional commemoration.
