About the Project
Who started it
The Lien Collaborative for Palliative Care draws on philanthropy, tertiary educational institutions, palliative care service providers and individuals to collaborate on a project designed to strengthen Palliative Care leadership and capacity. This initiative has been co-developed by the Asia Pacific Hospice Palliative Care Network (APHN) and the Lien Foundation, a philanthropic house in Singapore which works in the areas of water and sanitation, early childhood education, aging and palliative care.
The APHN is a charitable non-governmental organisation registered in Singapore in 2001. APHN members include some 200 organisations that support or provide palliative care and over 1,100 individuals working in the field in the Asia Pacific region.
