Our Vision

A world where palliative care is accessible by all.

Our Mission

To promote and facilitate the provision of high quality palliative care in the developing world where such care is limited.

Our Aims

We seek to work in partnership with organisations and individuals to empower sustainable developments in palliative care.
We are needs-led and only work in response to requests from local colleagues.
We provide expertise, education, training, mentoring and support.
We seek to influence policy makers by raising awareness of palliative care needs in the developing world with governments, NGOs, donor agencies and academic institutions.

Our Values

We respect the integrity of each person: their faith, background and lifestyle.
We are motivated by compassion inspired by the love of Christ.
