2017 Taipei Declaration for Health-Promoting & Literacy-Enhancing Palliative Care

The 2017 Taipei International Symposium calls for a Health-Promoting & Literacy-Enhancing Palliative Care, aiming to improve wellbeing and life literacy – a combination of health and death literacy - in the context of caring for a life-limiting illness in the communityY This declaration is built on the five basic principle listed below:
1. Integrate Palliative Care into Public Health Policy: To establish a healthcare system integrating health promoting palliative care into primary care and develop an education program to advocate concepts of advance care planning and palliative care to the general population.
2. Create Supportive Environments: To engage both formal and non-formal health service providers by acknowledging their practice wisdom and collaboration in predicting and preventing suffering.
3. Strengthen Community Actions: To create a compassionate community with high level of empathy, by involving families, neighbors, and all members in the community to build mutual relationships, exchange experience, share responsibilities and participate actively in the caring networks.
4. Develop personal skill: To Enable patients to make individualized advance care planning and empower the family to develop the knowledge and skill related to death literacy after a systematic learning and strategic shared decision making processes.
5. Reorient Health Services: To empower the health care providers by enhancing the death literacy training and education and accumulating practice wisdom and experience of person-centered and community-based home care and to accompany the patient and the family along the life course.

We further declare the health care providers, who deliver palliative and hospice care to the elderly and individuals with life-limiting illness in the community， should adhere five essential attributes as postulated previously.
Accessibility: Let the patients at end-of-life and their family to reach and use the health services at all time and assist them overcome temporal, spatial, economic, and psychologic barrier to health care.
