全世界数以千万计的人受到艾滋病毒/艾滋病和癌症等危及生命的疾病的影响，这些疾病给他们及其家人带来了巨大的痛苦和经济困难。大多数病例发生在发展中国家，那里往往很难及时有效地治疗这些疾病。通过有效、低成本的方法发展姑息治疗，通常是应对病人的迫切需要和提高他们的生活质量的唯一可行的替代办法。
Tens of millions of people worldwide are affected by life threatening illnesses such as HIV/AIDS and cancer, which cause them and their families great suffering and economic hardship. The majority of the cases occur in the developing world where quite often there is little accessibility to prompt and effective treatment for these diseases. The development of palliative care through effective, low cost approaches is usually the only feasible alternative to respond to the urgent needs of the sick and improve their quality of life.
