Pediatric palliative care is specialized medical care that is family centered. The goal of pediatric palliative care is to provide comprehensive support that improves quality of life for the child and their family by addressing the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs throughout the illness.
Palliative care is based on need, not prognosis, so it is best to start palliative care as soon as possible. This type of care is not limited to end-of-life situations and can be initiated at the time of diagnosis and continue throughout the course of the illness, whether the child is receiving curative treatment, life-prolonging care, or comfort care.
