How your gift supports the IAHPC mission
Give a gift, get a gift. IAHPC members who give a 2-year membership to a colleague in a low- or middle-income country, will receive a 6-month membership extension.
Education: Our educational initiatives place practical palliative care knowledge in the hands of health care professionals and caregivers worldwide. We offer online courses and underwrite scholars’ participation in regional congresses and conferences. Your gift helps us produce and post a wide range of free resources in multiple languages on our website and funds the delivery of webinars taught by recognized experts who volunteer their time to support colleagues wishing to advance their knowledge and skills. This year we implemented a course on Palliative Care in Neurological Conditions, in partnership with the International Neuropalliative Care Society (INPCS). The goal of this course is to increase the palliative care knowledge and skills of those managing patients with neurological conditions. Over 500 participants joined this course. Support Education.
Advocacy: Effective advocacy that brings palliative care in legal frameworks translates into health care policies that improve the quality of life of both patients and caregivers. Your gift helps us to build and strengthen partnerships that develop global, regional, and national primary palliative care services and, just as important, improve access to safely distributed, essential palliative care medicines. For example, thanks to gifts to support our advocacy program, we were able to support five institutions in low- and middle-income countries through the IAHPC Leadership Development (LEAD) program. Support Advocacy.
Research: We design, conduct, and publish peer-reviewed research studies that provide guidance and practical recommendations for frontline clinicians and academics. For example, donations supported a current project on the use of Essential Medicines for Palliative Care, which will be available for free for the global palliative care community. Support Research.
Communications: We freely share information to raise public awareness and optimize the impact of work by our members and partners. Pallinews and our social media channels amplify the voices of practitioners and caregivers through storytelling and reporting. Our professionally curated website offers free information, resources, and tools to the global palliative care community while Pallipedia, the palliative care dictionary offers definitions and concepts relevant to palliative cares. Your gift supports our publications and information campaigns that improve palliative care literacy, thereby increasing access to care for patients and families. Support Communications.
We are a small organization that devotes more than 80% of our budget to mission-driven programs and to the maintenance of our free website. Our work depends on sustainable operational funding.
Please support us today by donating, sending this appeal to others, or talking to colleagues about how the IAHPC has helped you in your work.
