A research hub on Global Access to Palliative Care and Pain Relief, led by UMIA, was established in 2021. The hub includes numerous researchers from countries of varying income levels, including Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and China. We are actively working on global research and training activities that can effectively generate updated estimates of serious health-related suffering (SHS) and to support regional and country-level research efforts. Several graduate students and early-career researchers have been brought into the Hub and been fully trained in the calculation of SHS.
