Abstract

The increasing number of hospice and palliative care centers around the world in the 1990s led to the emergence of international associations of hospice and palliative care. Today, there are many organizations working on hospices in many parts of the world, providing coordination among its members and trying to adopt the importance of hospices to societies. Under the leadership of World Palliative Care Association (WPCA), they came together in other international organizations and established an internet magazine under the name of-EHospice for the purpose of to draw attention to the importance of palliative care and hospices, to give information about their activities and to announce the developments in the fields of palliative care and hospice to the wider masses. E-Hospice magazine is published in many world languages, especially English. Apart from this international journal, there are media outlets, televisions and websites. Hospice and palliative care centers have become one of the most important elements of modern health care. Many international organizations operating in the field of health and social services around the world draw attention to the importance of hospices.
