摘要
While palliative care should be universally accessible [1], the specific types and severity of illness and suffering vary by geopolitical situation, socioeconomic condition, and culture [2]. The meaning of suffering and death vary similarly [3]. As such, palliative care should consider local culture when considering the needs of individual patients and families. While pain and symptom control have universal value, optimal application may vary greatly depending on context.
