103. New international network to address palliative care in complex humanitarian emergencies - PALCHE

In a world ravaged by war, epidemics and natural disasters, palliative care is essential. 20th June 2015, is World Refugee Day, when countries around the world remember the more than 60 million people living in a state of uncertainty, danger, poverty and even trauma and illness, often brought about by Complex Humanitarian Emergencies (CHEs).

Recognising the holistic needs that accompany these emergency situations, a new network – Palliative care in Complex Humanitarian Emergencies (PALCHE) – has been developed to address current limitations in providing palliative care to people facing CHEs.
