Palliative Care and End of Life Seminar: A Discussion on the Importance of Specific Treatments

"Palliative care and end of life. This afternoon at Pisana (3:30 pm) 'The Care day', the seminar promoted to discuss the importance of specific care as a tool to ensure everyone the right not to suffer. The initiative, organized in collaboration with the associative network 'Shout it from the rooftops', will also be held simultaneously in eight other Regional Councils of Italy, involving about 100 experts including bioethicists, palliative care specialists and jurists. This is how the regional councilor of Lazio, Maria Chiara Iannarelli (FdI), who will moderate and conclude the seminar, notes it. 'The aim is to promote a deepening of social and health policies that put at the center the physical and mental health of the entire population without distinction of individual conditions, including those of fragility. It will also be discussed simultaneously in Basilicata, Emilia-Romagna, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Lombardy, Marche, Tuscany, Sicily and Veneto' adds Iannarelli. 'It will be an important opportunity for dialogue between institutions, civil society and academia to promote, at regional and national level, a virtuous exchange that establishes the priority of palliative care and promotes a policy that does not abandon situations of fragility and pain. It is necessary that the most difficult cases are not perceived as a burden for society or as something to discard, supporting the dangerous spread of a culture of death in our communities'."
