Palliative Care Initiative for the Eastern Mediterranean Region: A Proposal

Mohammad Zafir Al-Shahri, MD*; Stuart Brown, MD*; Adnan Ezzat, MD*; Oussama Khatib

Summary: The Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR), with 22 countries and about
half a billion people, has scarce palliative care services that are far from meeting
the needs of the region. The authors of this paper believe that the resources and
international influence of the World Health Organization could be combined with
the excellent palliative care expertise of King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research
Center, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to establish a collaborative initiative for promotion of
palliative care services in the region. This proposal is based on the major components
of professional training, development of regional guidelines, integration of
palliative care into health plans and polices, and ensuring availability of essential
medications. Investment in developing palliative care in the EMR would be expected
to relieve the suffering of hundreds of thousands of patients and families in this part
of the world.
