Lancaster University (United Kingdom) published a document entitled “Mapping levels of palliative care development: a global view”. This document, from November 2006, provides an overview of palliative care in all countries around the world. They classified each country into one of four categories based on level of hospice-palliative care services available.
The four classifications are: 1. No known hospice-palliative care activity 2. Capacity building activity (but no service yet) 3. Localized provision of hospice-palliative care 4. Hospice and palliative care activities are approaching integration with the wider health system
