The 9th October 2021, was World Palliative Care Day. This year’s theme for world palliative care is “Leave No One Behind – Equity in Access to Palliative Care”. Evidence for the outcomes of early palliative care is growing. In 2014, the World Health Assembly passed a resolution that was co-sponsored by Malaysia. The resolution called for countries to improve access to palliative care as a core component of health systems, with an emphasis on primary health care and community/home-based care. One study conducted in Malaysia in 2019 estimated that by 2030, with the increase in noncommunicable diseases, 246 000 patients would require palliative care.
