The Worldwide Hospice Palliative Care Alliance (WHPCA) is excited to announce the theme for the year 2026! The theme is: Pain Management: An essential part of palliative care.

The theme was chosen to re-emphasize the holistic treatment of pain in palliative care (physical, psychological, social, spiritual). The interaction among total pain components is often complex, yet evident in patients with serious illnesses.

With this in mind, the WHPCA team will develop a comprehensive toolkit that includes key messages, sub-themes, social media messages, and more to help you run the campaign. Stay tuned, and we will inform you when we launch it in the coming months. Be on the lookout on our website, social media handles, and tell a friend to subscribe to the newsletter.

NB: We will inform you as soon as the official logo is ready.
