National and Professional Associations in Slovakia
Slovakia 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.
A Section of Palliative Medicine was established in 1999 within the Slovak Society for the Study and Treatment of Pain. The Association of Hospice Care was established in December 2000 and mainly has members from the development projects; it has not yet established active collaborative links abroad.
