About PACED

PACED was formed in 2017 so that more people in Central Asia, South Caucasus, Eastern Europe and the Baltic countries receive high quality palliative care.

While education is at the heart of PACED's work, we are involved in a range of activities to help ensure palliative care reaches all those who need it.

Our vision is a world where everyone with a life-threatening illness or at the end of life receives pain relief and high quality holistic care, and their families have access to the support they need.

Our mission is to increase palliative care knowledge and skills, and build leadership to advance the provision of palliative care in Central Asia, South Caucasus, Easter Europe and the Baltic countries.
