    This seminar focuses on pioneering equity in palliative care through rigorous research and proactive action. We will explore innovative approaches that prioritize social justice, community engagement, and citizen involvement, ensuring that underserved and excluded communities along with others receive the compassionate and comprehensive care they deserve. Sharing collective knowledge from diverse communities and stakeholders, we seek to advance public participation in shaping palliative care policies and practices. Our goal is to create a dynamic platform for dialogue, collaboration, and knowledge exchange, ultimately driving transformative change in palliative care. Join us in our commitment to fostering diversity, equity, and social impact in the field of public health and palliative care.
