OSI’s International Palliative Care Initiative supports organizations in resource-limited countries to integrate palliative care into national health care plans and policies, budgets, delivery systems, and professional and public education. The initiative also supports efforts to ensure that essential medications for pain relief are available to all patients who need them.

and skills necessary to develop and implement a project to evaluate national

palliative care in their respective countries.
