Para la humanización de la atención sanitaria: los cuidados paliativos como modelo

There are two objectives proposed in this article and are discussed in the first two of the three parts into which it is divided: the first objective is to mention the de-humanisation that has been installed, almost without much awareness by the healthcare professionals, and proposes its humanisation as a regulatory goal, towards which we must always try not to deviate from, as well as the main aims of the health professions, which are to serve people. The second objective is to present ten reasons why palliative care is a good reference model for the humanisation of healthcare. The article concludes with some final considerations on some difficulties in achieving this.
