A new vision for death and dying | The Lancet Commission on the Value of Death (VIDEO)
Caption
Dr Libby Sallnow and Dr M.R. Rajagopal call for radical rethink of how society cares for dying people. Today’s current overemphasis on aggressive treatments to prolong life, vast global inequities in palliative care access, and high end-of-life medical costs have lead millions of people to suffer unnecessarily at the end of life. The Lancet Commission on the Value of Death provides recommendations to policy makers, governments, civil society, and health and social care systems.
