#HatsOn4CPC
The second Friday in October, which this year falls on Friday 11th October 2024, is a day for raising international awareness of the need for, and work of, children’s palliative care services worldwide. This year marks 10 years since the World Health Assembly (WHA) resolution on palliative care and we are sharing some of the data from our recent mapping of CPC development which shows the many gaps that still exist 10 years on. What hat will you wear to help close these gaps? The annual campaign is known as “Hats On for Children’s Palliative Care” with the hashtag #HatsOn4CPC.
However you choose to participate as a group or and individual, with an event for families, with colleagues or in your community – don’t forget to register your event, put on your hat, take a picture, share it on social media (#HatsOn4CPC) and send the pictures to us at communications@icpcn.org
Thank you.

World Hospice and Palliative Care Day
2024 marks 10 years since the World Health Assembly (WHO’s Governing Body) passed the only stand-alone resolution on palliative care, calling for all countries to “strengthen palliative care as a component of comprehensive care throughout the life course.” This is what inspired the theme for 2024.

Join us on Saturday 12 October to advocate for better hospice and palliative care services around the world.
