About Us

Mission:  Palliative Care Network-e’s mission is to promote free palliative care education globally.

In June 2008, Palliative Care Network- e (PCN-e) was launched, with the “e” standing for education. From the requests received from around the world, we had two options: to either leave things the way they were or to expand the endeavor.

We decided to provide more structure and organization to the PCN-e project by making it a separate project altogether. Also, we wanted to ensure that the thousands of volunteer hours that went into the project bear fruit. To give a glimpse of the commitment of some of the volunteers, let me share these examples with you: one of the volunteers was working on our project to reach out to colleagues around the world when his wife was about to deliver.  Another was helping us few hours before his son's wedding. In fact, many who have contributed wish to remain anonymous. We salute their commitment.

PCN-e is the result of much skepticism. We were told we would never find volunteers and people will not help each other. Here we are expanding the project per the needs shared. This project is the result of feedback from palliative care professionals like you.

A fair assessment as to how we function would be to consider us to be like an open access publisher, with no charge to anyone contributing to and benefiting from the project. I am not a palliative care professional, but am volunteering to provide support to the project because I have seen how committed this group is and the impact it has made.

Please send us your feedback and help shape the future of your project: PCN-e.
