By doing so, Casa do Cuidar aims to expand access to and improve the quality of palliative care assistance in both Brazil and Portugal.
The mission of Casa do Cuidar is to achieve excellence in the practice and teaching of Palliative Care, and to promote the dissemination of this knowledge to both society and healthcare professionals.
