About this project
<p>The project aims to ensure equal access to palliative care for beneficiaries in small rural and urban disadvantaged communities, by creating and piloting an integrated and specialized services model, in line with current legal provisions. The most important intervention of the project aims to cover the needs of patients with severe or terminal illnesses and their families, by providing complex services that are not universally accessible through the national health system: specialized medical interventions, nursing and other complex services associated with the medical act: specialized psychological assistance, social services, support for the family during the mourning period etc. The target group of the project consists of 1,500 people (adults and children with progressive chronic diseases) from 105 communities with less than 20,000 inhabitants (of which 1,200 live in rural areas). The communities are selected from 6 counties (Brașov, Alba, Giurgiu, Ilfov, Bacău and Bihor). The initiative also includes the training of 170 palliative care professionals, as well as the development of a public policy document in this field.</p>
