Abstract
Palliative care must be included as part of governmental health policy as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). Every individual has the right to pain relief, and palliative care must be provided according to the principle of equity, irrespective of race, gender, ethnicity, social status, national origin and the ability to pay for services (EAPC, 1995).
