Abstract
Oct 9, 2021, marks World Hospice and Palliative Care Day. The 2021 theme, Leave No One Behind—Equity in Access to Palliative Care, is especially pertinent given the unprecedented effects of COVID-19. In support of this theme, we propose a re-imagining of palliative-care access to promote more equitable outcomes through public-health partnerships that prioritise community development and participation in end-of-life care.
