Extended data:
Hospice palliative care is a weak link in China's medical and health care system at present. There is no perfect and high-quality palliative care and full-course management of diseases, so this is a blank that needs to be filled urgently, because time is limited for patients and their families, and there is not much time left for patients with various cancers and terminal diseases.
The total number of patients who need hospice care and palliative care in Chinese mainland exceeds100000 every year, but it is reported that less than 1% of them have the opportunity to receive hospice care and palliative care. Nowadays, out of humanistic care, the government is vigorously developing hospice care institutions and related laws and policies to accompany those patients through the last journey of their lives and let them feel the warmth of the world.
