Where did the concepts and global policies relating to compassionate communities and cities come from? Why is the concept of compassionate communities important in 21st century epidemiology, public health policy development, and current civic and social institutional changes?
Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI), in collaboration with the General Incorporated Foundation Orange Cross, was honored to have invited Prof. Allan Kellehear, a leading expert on compassionate communities, to deliver a lecture.
The World Health Organization’s Healthy Cities policy and the global palliative care delivery system are said to be limited in their ability to directly serve the elderly with many comorbidities in today’s society.
Compassionate community is a concept that is attracting worldwide attention as a possible solution to this situation.
In this presentation, first, the international policy background that led to the emergence of compassionate communities were explained. The presentation then outline the key policy and practice strategies adopted by compassionate communities/cities, highlighted emerging trends in health and social care and the evolution of the international profession, and discussed the correction required in public health.
