The International Day of Palliative Care aims to raise funds and awareness in the community and ensure that all people around the world are entitled to quality care in the final journey of their lives. For this reason, more than 500 Palliative Care Centres will hold more than 1,000 solidarity concerts in over 74 countries. This year's global motto is "A Song to Life - Cudeca's Palliative Care eliminates suffering".
 
Cudeca Hospice is proud to be part of this great international event for the eighth time to promote awareness and support this humanitarian branch of medicine known as Palliative Care. Health professionals are trained to investigate and find cure for their patients; in palliative medicine, the emphasis is placed on the patient care during the final stage of their advanced and incurable illness, in addition to supporting their families during the illness and also in grief.
 
This important aspect of medicine has been Cudeca's objective since its conception in 1992. During these years Cudeca have treated more than 13,000 patients and built the Palliative Care Centre in Benalmadena. Each year, through their different assistance programs, Cudeca cared for more than 1,300 patients and their families.
