আজ ১২ অক্টোবর ২০২৫ বাংলাদেশ মেডিকেল ইউনিভার্সিটি (বিএমইউ)-এর প্যালিয়েটিভ মেডিসিন বিভাগে গভীর শ্রদ্ধা, সহানুভূতি ও মানবিক মূল্যবোধে পরিপূর্ণ এক অনুপ্রেরণামূলক অনুষ্ঠানের মাধ্যমে উদযাপিত হলো বিশ্ব হসপিস ও প্যালিয়েটিভ কেয়ার দিবস ২০২৫।

এবারের বৈশ্বিক প্রতিপাদ্য ছিল — “Achieving the Promise: Universal Access to Palliative Care”, যার আলোকে অনুষ্ঠানে প্রতিফলিত হয়েছে মানবিকতা, সেবার অঙ্গীকার এবং জীবনের শেষ প্রান্তে মর্যাদা রক্ষার দৃঢ় প্রত্যয়।

অনুষ্ঠানে অংশগ্রহণকারী চিকিৎসক, নার্স, হোম কেয়ার সার্ভিস প্রদানকারী ও প্যালিয়েটিভ কেয়ার অ্যাসিস্ট্যান্ট (PCA)-রা তাদের নিজস্ব অভিজ্ঞতা শেয়ার করেন। তারা বলেন, মমতা ও সহানুভূতির ছোট ছোট উদ্যোগও একজন রোগীর জীবনের শেষ যাত্রাকে শান্ত, মর্যাদাপূর্ণ ও মানবিক করে তুলতে পারে। এসব বাস্তব অভিজ্ঞতা উপস্থিত সকলকে গভীরভাবে আলোড়িত করে এবং এই বার্তাটি আরও দৃঢ় করে — মানবিক সেবাই মানবতার সর্বজনীন ভাষা।

দ্য ল্যানসেট কমিশন–এর সর্বশেষ তথ্য অনুযায়ী, বিশ্বব্যাপী প্রতি বছর প্রায় ৭ কোটি ৩৫ লক্ষ মানুষ প্যালিয়েটিভ কেয়ারের প্রয়োজন অনুভব করে, কিন্তু মাত্র ১৪ শতাংশ মানুষই এর সুবিধা পান। বাংলাদেশে প্রতিবছর প্রায় ৭ লক্ষ ৮১ হাজার মানুষের প্যালিয়েটিভ কেয়ারের প্রয়োজন হয়, অথচ বর্তমানে সেবা পৌঁছায় ১ শতাংশেরও কম মানুষের কাছে। এ বাস্তবতা সরকার, চিকিৎসা প্রতিষ্ঠান ও কমিউনিটি সংগঠনগুলোর মধ্যে আরও সমন্বিত পদক্ষেপ নেওয়ার প্রয়োজনীয়তাকে সামনে আনে।

বিএমইউ ইতিমধ্যে এই সেবাকে বিস্তৃত করার লক্ষ্যে চিকিৎসক ও নার্সদের প্রশিক্ষণ কর্মসূচি, হোম-বেসড প্যালিয়েটিভ কেয়ার নেটওয়ার্ক গঠন, কমিউনিটি সম্পৃক্ততা বৃদ্ধি এবং নীতি-নির্ধারণী পর্যায়ে প্রচারাভিযান চালিয়ে যাচ্ছে। বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়টি পুনর্ব্যক্ত করেছে তাদের অঙ্গীকার—বাংলাদেশের প্রতিটি মানুষ যেন ভূগোল বা অর্থনৈতিক অবস্থান নির্বিশেষে প্যালিয়েটিভ কেয়ারের আওতায় আসতে পারেন।

In our Compassionate Narayanganj project, volunteers are at the very core. Most of them are local residents who’ve stepped up with dedication and empathy. With orientation and training, they’ve become our extended hands and hearts in the community. Whether it’s sitting beside a sick child, listening to an elderly person’s worries, or helping a family cope with suffering, they do it all with sincerity and care.

Meet Swapna, an 18-year-old brave soul battling Osteosarcoma. In our palliative care team, we believe healing goes beyond just physical treatment—it's about nurturing the mind and spirit too. Today, Swapna experienced the comforting power of play therapy conducted over the phone, through which she explored her creativity and expressed her feelings. This compassionate approach helps her find moments of joy, reduce stress, and feel supported on her journey. Swapna’s story shows us how important it is to care for the whole person—body, mind, and heart. We are proud to be part of her journey.....♥️

The first Asia-Pacific Palliative Care Atlas, a 41 countries and areas study initiated by the ATLANTES Global Observatory of Palliative Care of the University of Navarra in collaboration with the Asia Pacific Hospice Palliative Care Network (APHN) will be launched on 24 April 2025 at APHN Conference in Malaysia

Key points:

• More than 70% of specialist palliative care services in Asia-Pacific are concentrated in less than 15% of the countries and areas that make up the region: Australia, Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, Thailand and New Zealand

• Although the region has the highest proportion of people in need of palliative care in the world (25 million people), the vast majority of those who need it do not have access to these services. Children in need of palliative care in the region represent 27.2% of the global need (7.7% in the Western Pacific and 19.5% in South-East Asia).

• Only 24.4% of Asia-Pacific countries and areas have widespread or integrated palliative care service provision in the health system: including Australia, Hong Kong SAR (China), Japan, Malaysia, Mongolia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand

• Access to opioids to combat pain for people suffering from serious illnesses in the region remains limited and unequal.

• Data show that 75% of the territories in the region do not have oral morphine for pain management in their primary care facilities
