FIRST NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PALLIATIVE CARE FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS “HOPE IN EVERY DAY”

Event Date:

In Kazakhstan, with the population of almost 20 million people, from 5 to 9 thousand children are in need of palliative care. However, access to holistic, quality palliative care services is very limited. For the first time in the history of Kazakhstan, a group of NGOs, supported by the Ministry of Health, Al-Farabi Kazakh National University and key international palliative care associations, including WHPCA, are holding a special conference devoted to children’s palliative care. In addition to plenary sessions, the program includes master-classes on pain management, respiratory support, positioning and nursing care, as well as a Round Table, where various organizations will share their local experience n providing care for children with palliative care needs.
