Information Needs in Palliative Care: Patient and Family Perspectives

Résumé

The development of palliative care in France is relatively recent compared to English-speaking countries. The first French Palliative Care Unit opened its doors in Paris in 1987 (following “the Laroque circular” of August 26, 1986 that defined palliative care and support), but it was only twelve years later that a specific law was passed, the law of June 9, 1999. This law is important because it aims at “guaranteeing the right of access to palliative care for all citizens who are in need of it” (article 1). Consequently, palliative care became a national health priority and the object of ministerial programmes1 for development at the level of the home as well as at the institutional level.
