The Interterritorial Health Council of Spain approves the Palliative Care Strategy. The main innovation is that these care will not only be offered to patients in the final stages of life.
The new document, known as the National Health System's Palliative Care Strategy, will be valid for the period 2026-2030. The recognition of this care as an individual right will be strengthened regardless of the pathology or place of residence.
The main innovation is that, from now on, palliative care will not only be provided to terminally ill patients, but the suffering caused by the disease will be taken into accountwhen establishing the protocol, so that different tools will be put in place to identify patients in need of palliative care at different stages of their illness.
At the end of the morning, the Minister of Health of the Spanish Government, \ u00A0 Monika Garcia, said that the intention was to approve the Guide to Good Practices for Utanasis today, but at the request of the communities, they left the matter for the next meeting.
