To the core

Since the establishment of the Fibula foundation in 2011 as a national organisation of all palliative care networks (NPZ) in the Netherlands, it worked on - partly with a subsidy from the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport - a policy document setting out the plan of action of the foundation (Fibula, 2014 ). In 2014, the Fibula foundation released a “brochure on a minimum requirements palliative care network” with which it established the starting point for the development of quality, professionalism and visibility of the NPZ in the Netherlands.
