Although national policies supporting palliative care exist, services remain unevenly distributed, are often misunderstood, and are not routinely offered to people with chronic non-cancer conditions.
Funded by the British Academy, our project seeks to address these gaps by identifying what works in global palliative care models and co-creating recommendations for adapting them to the Mexican context. Our goal is to support earlier, holistic and equitable palliative care for older adults with neurodegenerative conditions and their families.
