The first of its kind, this book describes pediatric palliative
care in more than 23 countries. Each region in the world is covered
and countries included are both resource poor and rich. Authors are
multidisciplinary and regarded nationally and internationally in
their field. Clinicians, advocates, policymakers, funders, and
researchers will learn how programs were developed and implemented
in each country. Authors describe children for whom pediatric
palliative care is needed and provided for in their country. When
applicable, a brief history of pediatric palliative care is
included noting especially policy changes and legislative acts. For
example, the chapter on Poland describes how pediatric palliative
care grew from the Catholic church into a national movement
spearheaded by several health care workers. The Pole national
spirit that brought them through a change in political regime has
also been a driving force in the pediatric palliative care
movement. The chapter on South Africa, for example, illustrates how
a resource poor country has been able to leverage philanthropic and
government funding to make its dream of having an infrastructure of
pediatric palliative care a reality. These are just a few examples
of the inspiring stories that are included in this book. Readers
from countries who wish to start a pediatric palliative care
program, or advance an existing program, will learn valuable
lessons from others who have faced similar barriers. Introduction
and concluding chapters highlight the strengths and weaknesses of
the modern pediatric palliative care movement.
