Abstract

The abstracts are stated as a consequence of the conclusions approved by the decision of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine «On the Recommendations of the Parliamentary Hearings on the topic: «Organization of the anti-cancer fight in Ukraine. Problems and the ways to solve them» from 02.09.2020 № 862-IX, and the World Health Assembly Resolution «Cancer prevention and control in the context of an integrated approach» (WHA70.12) dated by 2017. In particular, the Resolution calls on governments and the World Health Organization to accelerate actions aimed at achieving the goals mentioned in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by UN General Assembly Resolution A/70/L.1 on 25 September 2015, in order to reduce premature deaths from cancer. One of the key points of this Resolution is to call on countries to develop standards and tools for management of planning and implementation of activities in the field of prevention, early diagnosis, screening, cancer treatment, as well as palliative care and assistance to people after treatment, including children with cancer. The difficult situation with the provision of palliative care to cancer patients in the terminal stage of the disease, the lack of sufficient material base and qualified staff requires additional involvement of the patient’s relatives and persons supervising them in the assistance. Improvement and clear legislative regulation of legal norms that in one way or another affect the effective construction of the relationships «doctor-patient-patient relative» should be the key to achievement of the maximum effect. No conflict of interests was declared by the authors.
