This Charter is important to underline that all Religions are based on a view of humanity that emphasizes that older and vulnerable people are unique and must be treated with dignity. The focus of all religions is that The way you look at a human being, in this way you also treat it, and in the way you treat a human being, in this way you also look at it as a human being. Therefore human vision is of infinite importance to maintain the dignity of older people in palliative care and the Religions of the world have the duty and the ability to stress this.

SIGN THE CHARTER AND JOIN US IN SUPPORTING PALLIATIVE CARE FOR OLDER PEOPLE

Every older person with chronic or incurable illness has the right to receive Palliative Care.

The goal of Palliative Care is to take care of the person in totality even when there is no longer a cure. This care foresees a team of different and diverse professional figures: doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, social and religious assistants helping patients and their families.

Palliative Care is not a palliative.

Together we have the opportunity to spread the meaning and the profound value of Palliative Care and sensitize every country so that it may become an integral part of every national healthcare system.
