A project by the

Network and the Lien Foundation
to enhance palliative care leadership and capacity
in developing countries
Lien Collaborative for Palliative Care
The Lien Collaborative for Palliative Care (Lien Collab) draws on philanthropy, tertiary educational institutions, palliative care service providers and individuals to collaborate on a project designed to strengthen Palliative Care leadership and capacity. This initiative has been co-developed by the Asia Pacific Hospice Palliative Care Network (APHN) and the Lien Foundation. Through facillitating, supporting, advocating, and influencing.
We strive to achieve 3 main objectives for our countries of operation:
1. Help build Palliative Care capacity in the region
2. Focus on countries with little/no services
3. Integrate with mainstream government health system
Most Lien Collaborative institutions started or expanded their palliative care services within one year after our training. Read more about how we're making differences.
