In Thailand, palliative care is provided at government facilities (tertiary hospitals and cancer centers), private hospitals, and faith-based institutions. Although most patients die at home, palliative care and hospice services in the home are limited (Nilmanat et al., 2010). Challenges related to palliative care in Thailand include lack of research, lack of community- and home-based palliative care, lack of volunteer training, and inadequate training for health care personnel on caring for dying patients (P. Juntasopeepun, personal communication, 2010).
