A lecture on Palliative Care was held on
12th March 2009 in Kraljevo
and was organised by the Centre for
Continual Medical Education from Health
Centre “Studenica”, along with the local
branch office of the Serbian Cancer
Society.
This was a well organised meeting and
more then 200 doctors had the
oppor- tunity to hear Dr Natasa Milicevic
speak about “Co- ntemporary Concept of
Pa- lliative Care”. This lecture covered
basic information about the foundations
and history of the contemporary
hospice-palliative care mo- vement, how
palliative care is organised in other
countries around the world, and about
the main problems that Serbian patients
and their families face.
There was also a discussion about how
appropriate and properly structured
palliative care can and must alleviate
the problems encountered by patients,
thus allowing them to live with more
dignity and less suffering until their
death.
