The 12th Osaka Kita Palliative Care Seminar (co-sponsored by Osaka Prefectural Saiseikai Nakatsu Hospital), which was scheduled to be held this year, has been canceled in light of the current situation regarding the spread of COVID-19.

The government's Basic Plan for Promoting Cancer Control sets the goal of "ensuring that all medical professionals involved in cancer treatment understand basic palliative care and acquire the knowledge and skills" so that cancer patients and their families can receive seamless palliative care from an early stage.

We are very sorry that we have had to cancel the event in this manner, and we appreciate your understanding.
