სოფო მოგესალმები,

როგორც საუბარში გითხარი, გიგზავნი წერილს და ძალიან კარგი იქნება თუ მოხდება
პალიატიური მზრუნველობის მხარდაჭერა.

დიდი მადლობა წინასწარ.

პატივისცემით,

ნინო

Dear
Minister,

We are writing to you to request your
support for palliative care at the World Health Organisation Executive Board
meeting from 22-27 January 2018 in Geneva.

As you will know, the WHO will be
discussing their Global Programme of Work for 2019-2023, this document now
includes good language on palliative care following input on the first draft
from member states and civil society.

Palliative care is a fundamental
component of the essential spectrum of health services within Universal Health
Coverage as defined by WHO.  A
recent Lancet Commission on Palliative Care and Pain Relief found that 61
million people are living with serious health related suffering and it is
estimated that less than 10% of those who need it can access palliative care.

To support WHO, member states and
civil society to work together to address this situation, we kindly request that
you inform your representatives attending the Executive Board and your mission
in Geneva to:

1. Acknowledge the much improved
palliative care language in the Global Programme of Work including the
standalone paragraph 38 and ensure palliative care language is protected and
retained.

2. Ensure the inclusion of an agreed
palliative care target and indicator within the Impact
Framework

3. Ensure that palliative care is
included within the Global Programme of Work budget

Thank you for your ongoing
support.
