PRESENTATION

With its research in Palliative Medicine, the University of Navarra seeks to disseminate the positive and highly humane values of palliative care in society and among professionals.

From 2022, Atlantes Global Observatory of Palliative Care is partner centre of the WHO for the monitoring of development of palliative care.

Mission, vision and values

Our mission statement is to consolidate the science of palliative medicine and make the University of Navarra a world leader in this field discipline.

We believe it is possible to transform the experience of serious illness. The vision we share is a world in which those who suffer intensely from serious illness receive person-centred care, with pain and symptom relief, and the emotional and spiritual support they need. This is achieved through a positiveapproach of palliative medicine, centred on the needs of the sick and seeking to alleviate severe suffering in its deepest sense.

The specific objectives of this line of work are:

Who benefits from our work?

Globally, 61 million children and adults are experiencing suffering due to illness. Only 14% of them have access to palliative care. These data urge the research, promotion and implementation of palliative medicine as an indispensable medical specialization program in the face of serious illness or at the end of life.

In this way, palliative medicine can benefit large sections of society:

- The patients and their accompanying families: a holistic approach is promoted, which not only tries to alleviate physical suffering, but also psychological and spiritual suffering, also accompanying the patient's family.

- Healthcare professionals: will have the resources, skills and knowledge necessary to effectively treat their patients.

- Researchers and academics: more material will be available at research and in depth, as well as knowledge and skills.

- Governments and policy makers: will have the necessary information to promote public health policies from agreement to the specific needs of their regions.

- Civil society and associations: will benefit from the information and knowledge generated.
