Background: There is a global agreement that palliative care should be universally accessible. However, in low- and middle- income countries and conflict zones, most people lack access to it. In the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR), no country has achieved integration of palliative care into its health care system, and only 4 countries have better-than-isolated palliative care provision. Aims: To promote and guide palliative care improvement in the EMR, with case studies showing the successes and challenges of palliative care implementation from 4 countries in the Region. Methods: We developed a structured, succinct, case-writing format and invited palliative care leaders in the EMR to use it to describe successes and challenges in palliative care implementation in their countries. Results: Within the EMR, in addition to many challenges and needs, there are examples of successful palliative care policy development, community-based service creation, and paediatric palliative care implementation. Conclusion: The experiences of the regional palliative care leaders documented in succinct, structured case studies, can help guide regional palliative care development in the EMR and other regions. Contexte : Il existe un accord mondial sur le fait que les soins palliatifs devraient être universellement accessibles. Cependant, dans les pays à revenu faible et intermédiaire et les zones de conflit, la plupart des personnes n' y ont pas accès. Dans la Région de la Méditerranée orientale, aucun pays n'est parvenu à intégrer les soins palliatifs dans son système de soins de santé, et seuls quatre pays disposent d'une offre de soins palliatifs qui sont en voie d'intégration. Objectifs : Promouvoir et guider l'amélioration des soins palliatifs dans la Région de la Méditerranée orientale, par le biais d'études de cas montrant les succès et les défis de la mise en oeuvre des soins palliatifs dans quatre pays de la Région. Méthodes : Nous avons mis au point un modèle de rédaction de cas structuré et succinct, et nous avons invité les responsables des soins palliatifs dans la Région de la Méditerranée orientale à s'en servir pour décrire les succès et les défis de la mise en oeuvre de ces soins dans leurs pays. Résultats : Dans la Région de la Méditerranée orientale, outre les nombreux défis et besoins, il existe des exemples de réussite concernant l'élaboration de politiques en matière de soins palliatifs, la mise en place de services communautaires et la mise en oeuvre des soins palliatifs pédiatriques. Conclusion : Les expériences réalisées par les responsables régionaux des soins palliatifs, qui sont documentées dans des études de cas structurées succintes, permettent de guider la mise en place des soins palliatifs au niveau régional.
