Facilitators and barriers to palliative care delivery in rural China: a qualitative study of the perceptions and experiences of rural healthcare professionals
Palliative care in rural China remains underdeveloped. There is an urgent need to establish home-based palliative care services in low-resource regions. Implementing hospital-community-home care model can support more equitable allocation of healthcare resources. Expanding insurance reimbursement and promoting culturally adapted death education may further facilitate the delivery and acceptance of rural palliative care.
