The working visit starts at the hospice. There, the King and State Secretary speak with staff and volunteers about the collaboration between different care providers in the region and the provision of care in the final stages of life.
Subsequently, the King and State Secretary go to a hospital and speak with patients and their relatives about their experiences and the importance of social awareness surrounding palliative care. They will also engage in discussions with various care providers and experts about the regional and national plans to make palliative care a standard part of regular care.
