Countries with robust palliative care programs struggle offering services to every terminal patient. It's easy to imagine how countries without a substantial program are profoundly challenged. This presentation outlines the approach to establishing a sustainable program; focusing on necessary program elements, effective use of interdisciplinary team members, and education collaboration.
