This cover story on media platform, The Spinoff is a compelling portrayal of the reality we can no longer ignore: a growing and unacceptable gap between the need for palliative care and how it is planned for and funded as our population ages. Demand is increasing, care needs are becoming more complex, and without urgent action, too many people will miss out on the compassionate, high-quality end-of-life care they deserve. As a country, we need a reform in palliative care, for people, for whānau, and for the future of dying well in Aotearoa.
