From its beginnings the Foundation has strived to establish the right to access palliative care for all those who need it regardless of age, situation and type of illness. We place respect for the patient’s dignity and needs and those of their family at the centre of care provision rather than the illness. We strive to improve awareness and provision of palliative care.
The Foundation’s main aims are to:
- establish the right to access care even if a cure is not possible
- enhance the quality of life of children with serious illnesses whilst guaranteeing respect and dignity
- collaborate with institutions to develop the best care models in the field of pediatric palliative care
- promote research in the paediatric palliative care sector
- support training initiatives for all the members of the multidisciplinary care team
- raise public awareness of the importance of palliative care for children
Every person has the right to the best quality of life possible, even during illness.
