Annotation | Of the 56 million people who die worldwide each year, 85% are in developing countries. The movement for improving quality of care at the end of life is primarily focused on industrialised countries. Until it is seen as a global problem for public health and health systems, efforts to improve it will not make much impact. (RH). |
