There are many palliative care developments in resource-poor regions of the world. Most of them are supported by third-party donors and grant makers. The funding necessary to cover essential palliative care services usually exceeds the financial means of many developing countries. Health care services may have to be complemented by nongovernmental organizations that are dependent on fund raising and voluntary donations from a variety of external sources. Coordinated action by international funding agencies is needed to ensure that the world's poorest people have access to essential medications and appropriate palliative care. To this end, international networking in the palliative care field is vital. There are now a number of collaborative networks that make a significant contribution to the development and sustainability of hospice and palliative care across many resource-poor regions of the world.
在世界资源匮乏地区，姑息治疗有诸多发展。其中大部分由第三方捐助者和资助者提供支持。覆盖基本姑息治疗服务所需的资金通常超出许多发展中国家的财政能力。医疗保健服务可能必须由依赖多种外部来源筹款和自愿捐赠的非政府组织加以补充。需要国际资助机构采取协调行动，以确保世界上最贫困的人群能够获得基本药物和适当的姑息治疗。为此，姑息治疗领域的国际网络至关重要。目前有一些合作网络为世界许多资源匮乏地区临终关怀和姑息治疗的发展及可持续性做出了重大贡献。
