The Pontifical Academy for Life invites Stepan Firstov to join the Conference on palliative care

21 January 2022

Within the Pontifical Academy for Life organised the project «PAL-LIFE: An Advisory Working Group on Diffusion and Development of Palliative Care» with its aim to promote development of palliative care culture worldwide. Despite the rapid development, this sphere still includes obstacles and challenges and, because of it, many palliative care services are unavailable for all patients in need.

 The topics on how to overcome barriers and manage crisis will be discussed during the Conference «Palliative care: an international lab». The Conference is going to be held in an online mode with involvement of representatives of international community from foreign countries such as Vatican, Italy, Germany, USA, Uganda, Spain, Belgium, Great Britain, Africa and Argentina. Presidium Member of the Society of doctors of Russia and an Associate Member of the World Medical Association Stepan Firstov joins his colleagues.

The event lasts from 9 to 11 February 2022. During the meeting a round table is planned to discuss the current state of the palliative care in countries, legalized euthanasia, key challenges and preliminary planning in an international scale. Participants will learn better knowledge of the palliative care, because it is an effective tool against euthanasia legalization and assisted suicide.
