Palliative care is not about giving up hope; it is about ensuring a child’s dignity, a childhood free from pain, and being there for families when they need it most.

Anush Sargsyan, Head of the Pediatric Palliative Care Department of the Yeolyan Hematology and Oncology Center, spoke about the importance of home-based palliative care services and the support provided to children with incurable illnesses and their families.

The specialist also addressed existing challenges in the field, particularly the low number of referrals for children in need of palliative care and the lack of public awareness.
