Therefore, in 2020, collaborative work between Sarawak General Hospital, University Malaysia Sarawak, and ASCO began. This study reports on the outcome of this collaboration. Methods: The collaboration was initiated with the first ASCO Palliative Care e-course, Train the Trainer program, International Development and Education Award-Palliative Care and translation of ASCO Palliative Care Interdisciplinary Curriculum resources. Results: This collaboration has resulted in the change of practice of palliative care among the oncology team of Sarawak General Hospital. Conclusion: It encourages more timely palliative care referrals to ensure that patients with complex physical, psychosocial, and spiritual needs have the necessary input and support from the palliative care team throughout the course of patients' illnesses.
