Abstract

Since 1994 in Croatia there have been systematic and continuous activities with the aim of spreading the most actual information about palliative care. In 1999, the practical activity started resulting in the foundation of the Regional Hospice Centre as a civil organization. It has now more than five years of constant activity of volunteers – both health and non-health professionals. The inclusion into the existent health system as recommended by the Committee of EU Ministers failed until now, due to the instability of law and repeated reforms of the reforms... and our old and popular standpoint “we know all about and we do all that”. Expertise is not required. And only the quality could be the advantage in our future competitions.
