World Hospice and Palliative Care Day is a unified day of action to celebrate and support hospice and palliative care around the world. It takes place this year on October 6th 2007 in conjunction with Voices for Hospices - a global musical marathon event which facilitates thousands of concerts around the world in support of Hospice care and which is the official fundraising event for World Hospice and Palliative Care Day 2007.
Every year there are millions of people around the world, from babies to the elderly who are diagnosed with a terminal illness. Access to high quality hospice care, which aims to meet the needs of the whole person, is essential to prevent unnecessary pain.
