Belarus was a signatory of the Poznan Declaration (1998) and is a member of the Eastern and Central European Palliative Care Task Force (ECEPT). Its palliative care leaders subscribe, therefore, to the call for national policies, palliative care education, increased drug availability, a growth in palliative care services and an increase in public awareness.
There do not appear, however, to be any national palliative care associations in Belarus.
