Track: Pediatric Palliative care
For children with cancer and other life-limiting
illnesses, palliative care is a central component of care in resource-limited environments. Palliative
care focuses on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of the
illness. Severe medical issues, including genetic abnormalities, cancer,
prematurity, developmental disorders, heart and lung conditions and others, are
treated through pediatric palliative care. Symptoms of these conditions, such
as pain, shortness of breath, exhaustion, constipation, nausea, lack of
appetite and sleeping problems, anxiety and depression, are relieved. Palliative care
goals for curing and healing and become instrumental for improving the quality
of life.
