Welcome

The Palliative Care in Western Europe website maps the “comparative performance” of 17 countries in western Europe on variables related to palliative care. A different map is provided for each of the variables listed in the menu at the far right. Data is drawn from a number of sources, including EAPC, WHO, the World Values Survey, and a variety of medical researchers.

A map reflecting comparative scores for each variable is presented where countries are color-coded from worst to best. The Quality of Death map at right is an example.[1]
