PURPOSE OF REVIEW: South Asia, with a population of 1.79 billion, has close to 9.9 million individuals experiencing serious health-related suffering (SHS). South Asia accounts for 10.23% of the world's cancer incidence. The prevalence of cancer mortality in the region is 68.44%, significantly higher than the world average of 59.74%. This poor outcome highlights the need to focus on SHS in the region. This review was undertaken to assess the current status of palliative care inequities in the region and to guide future action.
RECENT FINDINGS: Using morphine-equivalent doses of opioid analgesics (excluding methadone) per cancer death as a proxy measure for access to palliative care, the International Narcotics Control Board data in 2020 show poor access to palliative care. Less than 4% of those in need are able to access palliative care in India, whereas in Afghanistan only 0.2% have access. Inappropriate end-of-life care (EOLC) and catastrophic out-of-pocket health expenditure compound the problem.
SUMMARY: The solutions involve the introduction of national programs for palliative care, demonstration of culturally appropriate best practices as proof of concept, favourable legislation for medical opioid access, community participation, engagement of civil society to improve awareness, inclusion of palliative and adding EOLC to medical education and need-based research.
