Palliative care

The Fund pays attention to children’s palliative care. We think that it is a must to understand the needs of sick child and his family during this period of treatment and to respect their decision to spend it at home or at hospital. Because of that, the Fund has bought oxygen concentrator, secretion aspirator, pulse oximeter and other equipment in 2007 and tries to ensure the quality palliative care at home for children who leave the hospital.
