These essential tasks are not always recognised, even though they give patients more tools to better manage their needs, care, and treatment, and potentially become more independent.

Every year, on 11 October, the World Hospice and Palliative Care Day invites us to take a sensitive look at an often overlooked reality: until the very end, life deserves care, attention and dignity.

2024: Pressure on support and care services

Currently, more than 20% of the Walloon population is over 65 years of age, and this percentage continues to increase every year. This rapid ageing is putting increased pressure on home help and care services, which have become essential in enabling people to continue living at home in decent and dignified conditions.
