Following the submission of the report by the Citizens’ Convention on the End of Life in April 2023, the President of the Republic announced the creation of a ten-year palliative care strategy and a bill on the end of life.
The expert report, published after six months’ work, identifies five priority areas, including equitable access to supportive care and the mobilization of territories. A ten-year plan, unveiled in January, would propose 15 measures, including mass training in supportive care and the installation of 100 “supportive homes” offering care with a low degree of medicalization. The report also recommends mobilizing society in support of people at the end of life, and suggests experimenting with self-help groups.
