The National Palliative and Hospice Care Summit 2024

The National Palliative and Hospice Care Summit 2024 was held on September 25 to 28, 2024 at Casa Ibarra MOA Pasay City. We thank our partners Philippine Society of Hospice and Palliative Medicine, Asia Pacific Hospice and Palliative Network Lien Collaborative, The Philippine Cancer Society and The Ruth Foundation for a successful event. We look forward to seeing you all again next year!

A heartfelt congratulations to the esteemed doctors who accepted the challenging task of delivering lectures to participants during the Parallel Session for Medical Doctors at the National Palliative and Hospice Care Summit 2024. These dedicated professionals were meticulously selected as Palliative and Hospice Care Master Trainers, undergoing rigorous evaluation by their peers and experts from the Philippine Society of Palliative and Hospice Medicine and the Asia Pacific Hospice Network Lien Collaborative.

We commend the exceptional presentations delivered by Dr. Joyce Dela Cruz (Principles of Palliative Care), Dr. Mark Lucero (Pain Management), Dr. Fatima Caguioa (Breaking the Bad News), Dr. Jinette Carreon (Goals of Care and Advance Care Planning), Dr. Nurijam Spares (End of Life Care), and Dr. Benedict Andover (Grief and Bereavement). Their insightful lectures not only imparted essential knowledge but also demonstrated effective audience engagement techniques.

Through their invaluable contributions, participants gained a deeper understanding of how to effectively engage audiences and convey crucial information. The growing demand for palliative and hospice care programs in various communities has fueled the doctors' enthusiasm for future Master Training opportunities, as they strive to further advance the field and improve patient care."
