HOSPICE CARE CHALLENGES IN SMALL TOWNS
Journal Title: Българско списание за обществено здраве (Bulgarian Journal of Public Health) - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
Like most member states of the European Union (EU) Bulgaria is facing a serious challenge posed by an ageing population that increases the need for services for long-term care and therefore to an increase in public expenditure on these services. Exactly this similar niche „strives to fill a relatively new (not only for Bulgaria) and unexplored sufficiently by the science social phenomenon and institution, such as a hospice“. Life needs approve hospice as a necessary part of the social organism, regardless of the reluctance/ desire of one or another person, an institution representing the state. The challenges faced by providers of such care, especially in small towns such as Bobov dol, are not few at all. Yet, regardless of the status quo life needs promote hospice or palliative care as a necessary part of the public organism.
