Children's Palliative Care in South Africa - The Facts
This Fact Book is for anyone who wants more information about children’s palliative care in South Africa. While this first Fact Book has been developed for South Africa, the basic facts regarding palliative care for children, and children themselves, remain the same wherever children are in the world.
This is the first in a series that the ICPCN is developing for in-country use. We plan to provide Fact Books for other countries that can be used for advocacy with governments, donors and other organisations working within that specific context.
The vision of the ICPCN is that all children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions will have access to palliative care provided by trained and competent practitioners; and this is one of the many steps towards that vision.
Why should children suffer ?
