It was a common agreement among, not just a few, everyone I interviewed. It’s an important chapter of the documentary and research revealed that these are the only seven countries in the world that offer palliative care courses at university:

  • Belgium and France offer a multi-university diploma
    Université Catholique de Louvain and Université Catholique de Lille
  • Ireland
    University College Dublin
  • Portugal
    Portuguese Catholic University
  • South Africa
    University of Cape Town
  • Uganda
    Mildmay
  • United Kingdom
    Cardiff University and Coventry University
  • USA
    EPEC- Pediatrics and ELNEC-Pediatric Palliative Care Train-The-Trainer courses
