The European Council, the World Health Organization, the International Association of Hospice and Palliative Care, and various other national guidelines emphasize equal provision of palliative care. To fulfill this vision, all involved need to be aware of the existing situation even in western European countries. Data from the European Atlas of Palliative Care and the Swedish Registry of Palliative Care are used to illustrate the present inequalities. The data illustrate the unequal provision of palliative care relating to level of care, place of residence, diagnoses, and age. The challenge of providing equal palliative care remains, even in Western European countries, in spite of all positive developments. Different approaches that may contribute to successful implementation of equal palliative care are discussed. The challenge is still there and will require some effort to resolve.
欧洲理事会、世界卫生组织、国际姑息治疗协会以及其他各种国家指南都强调要平等提供姑息治疗。为了实现这一愿景，即使在西欧国家，所有相关人员都需要了解现有情况。欧洲姑息治疗地图集和瑞典姑息治疗登记处的数据被用来说明目前存在的不平等现象。这些数据说明了姑息治疗在护理水平、居住地点、诊断和年龄方面的不平等提供情况。尽管所有积极的发展，提供平等姑息治疗的挑战仍然存在，即使在西欧国家也是如此。讨论了可能有助于成功实施平等姑息治疗的不同方法。挑战仍然存在，需要付出努力来解决。
