Dr Eva Duarte MD, Chief of Palliative Medicine and Symptom Control Department at National Cancer Institute of Guatemala, writes to share a piece of good news for all those interested in palliative care in developing countries:

The Guatemalan Government published yesterday in the official newspaper Diario de Centroamerica the Agreement of Constitution of the National Commission of Palliative Care of Guatemala, with a wide representative body of institutions.

For us, it is definitely the best gift to start the year!

Our Government will change on January 14th, and we are so glad that they decided establish this Ministry Agreement so we can continue to work with the new team.
