Lien Collaborative had explored the possibility of a joint teaching project with Karunruk Palliative Care Center, Khon Kaen University (KKU) and the Department of Health, Ministry of Public Health, Laos. The estimated project duration is 3 years. This project will be facilitated by Assoc. Prof. Srivieng Pairojkul of Karunruk Palliative Care Center, Faculty of Medicine, KKU. The proposed training will be held in Karunruk Palliative Care Center, KKU and some major hospitals in Lao People's Democratic Republic (PDR). The teaching project aims to facilitate and support the development of palliative care services in Lao PDR by working in coordination with the Lao Ministry of Public Health.

Despite the challenges posed by the Pandemic, we are actively monitoring the situation and looking for ways to proceed with our discussion on the project's feasibility. As soon as conditions allow, we will resume our partnership considerations and work towards a successful outcome.
