This huge work is one of the outcomes of the EAPC Task Force on the Development of Palliative Care in Europe, started in 2003 by Dr Carlos Centeno, chair of this group. This task force was developed with a core group of mem- bers, and has succeeded in compiling country reports for 43/52 participating countries, describing the quantitative and qualitative situation of palliative care development across Europe. The members are representative of the organisations collaborating with the EAPC as Help the Hospices, the International Observatory on End of Life Care (IOELC), the International Association of Hospice and Palliative Care (IAHPC) and the University of Navarra. These institutions have combined their efforts to achieve the several outcomes. In addition to this book, the diffusion and the communication of the results are being in websites, scientific journals and palliative care congresses. The presentation of the results in an Atlas with 43 country reports is a very attractive way to show the situation of palliative care development. It will be an important tool for professional, care givers, policy makers and health providers. They will find in the Atlas the report country by country with an overview of the delivery of hospice and palliative care in different settings provided by the National Associations and also people identified as key persons in their countries. The milestones of develop- ment, health policy, accreditation of professionals and a selected bibliography are included in sections of each country report. The clear presentation with tables and maps is very easy to use, and show in a very attractive way the hundred of teams, unit and services, hundred of papers and thou- sands of heath care professionals and volunteers. This apparent simplicity of the pre- sentation masks the real difficulty in harmonizing the data of the diverse situations across the countries. The members of the Task Force spent a lot of energy in collecting and verifying the data, and hope that the key collaborators and expert informants will remain a link between the task force and the countries, building a network of key informants. The work is still in progress, and the
