Narrative History of Palliative Care in Slovakia
Ideas about hospice development first started to surface in Slovakia in 1989 and by 1995 the first registered NGOs began to appear. The hospice in Martin was the first of these to provide direct services, with a home care service, from 1999. There are a number of oncologists interested in palliative care.
