To transform reality and advance toward the recognition of the right to die with dignity, we need to understand the regional and global landscape. It is crucial to know how end-of-life care is regulated in each country, what progress has been made, what obstacles remain, and who the key players driving—or hindering—the debate are.
At Plataforma Dignidad, we aim to create and share useful knowledge to enhance information exchange and collaboration among our countries. We believe that public policy decisions should be evidence-based. Here, you will find comparative legislation, key definitions, studies on end-of-life issues, and other tools to help dispel the myths surrounding the right to die with dignity.
