Sažetak
A historical survey and the basic philosophy and activities of the hospice, its necessity and its absence in Croatia, is presented by the author. Through its practical realization and its scientific justification, the hospice has brought novelty into medicine as a whole: specialization in the control of disease symptoms and in palliative therapy. The ideal would be to secure the greatest possible quality of life until the end. The hospice is a centre for the advancement of nursing, freedom, and dignity of the dying. Contrary to the euthanasic movement of the culture of death, the hospice offers and provi¬des the alternative of an authentic and effective culture of life.
