Abstract
AbstractThe World Health Organization supports early delivery of palliative care as it reduces unnecessary hospital admissions and the inappropriate use of health care services. A community pharmacist can play a key role in advocating timely access to palliative care. Medication reconciliation must alert them to start communicating with the patient and/or his relatives about refocusing treatment and care as part of palliative and terminal care. Pharmaceutical activities for these patients include dispensing of devices and medicinal products, compounding personalized medication and participating as a member of the Palliative Support Team. Most of the several thousands of rare diseases are caused by genetic defects and up to now have no cure and a late diagnosis.
