👶 Paediatric palliative care is about improving the quality of life for children with serious illnesses.
💖 It supports the child and family, addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
🧸 Focus: pain relief, comfort, play, and presence — even in the face of life-limiting conditions.
🤝 Care is gentle, respectful, and family-centered, from diagnosis through to end-of-life and beyond.

Cachexia is more than weight loss — it's a sign of the body’s deep struggle.🛌
In palliative care, we treat the person, not just the appetite.
✨🥼Compassion and comfort over correction.

🍽️👨👩👧 Families often worry:
Will they get weaker? Are we doing enough?
💡🕊️ In end-of-life care, presence is better than pressure.
Compassion, not calories, makes the difference.🎯
