Objective: The need for palliative care around the world will increase at least three times by 2040. So, it is crucial to predict which forms of palliative caregiving will be needed; how will this need grow in the next 3-5 years. That was our task. Methods: Analysis of statistical reporting data for the last 5 years (Precarpathion Region). Results: We have rationed the acute need of residents of the city and region in expanding the availability of palliative care for patients with chronic incurable diseases; especially at home; a visiting mobile team; the need to establish nursing homes care; with various forms of palliative caregiving and education for these.
