Palliative and hospice care is an emerging medical care model for the development of modern medicine， and its emergence is not only a sign of social demand and the development of human civilization， but also an important manifestation of the change in the modern medical model. Hospice care is the final stage of palliative care， which is of great significance for the end?of?life treatment of incurable diseases. Palliative and hospice care has become an independent discipline in many countries， and its development has been rapid. However， the development of hospice and palliative care in China is not satisfactory， and the lack of money and human resources are the main reasons limiting its development. Many scholars have carried out a lot of useful practices in this regard. How to explore a road of hospice and palliative care development suitable for China's national conditions is an urgent problem to be solved. By reviewing domestic and foreign literature， this paper summarizes the development mode and payment method of palliative and hospice care abroad， identifies the challenges encountered in the practice of hospice care in China， and draws on the development experience of palliative and hospice care in foreign countries. We aimed to identify pain points and difficulties faced in developing palliative and hospice care in China， so as to better serve patients at the end of life， gradually promote the concept of palliative and hospice care， and contribute to the sustainable development of palliative and hospice care in China.
