title: Palliative care professional education in the new millennium: global perspectives--universal needs.
abstract: In the 20th century, the palliative care is based mostly upon the Anglo-Saxon and Christian contemporary model of care. Is such a model sufficient and could be transformed to the places outside of Judeo-Christian based, west civilization? Is such a model transcultural and could be used for problems solving for those who are professionally involved in the end-of-life care? The universal needs of the dying human being and the family are seen by the authors in the global perspective, and that perspective is tailored as a base for the transcultural model of the education for the professionals within the palliative care.
