Palliative care is one of the main rights of children with life-limiting diseases and their families. Despite this importance, many of these children and their families around the world are deprived of this service and do not receive these services. Among the reasons for not providing palliative care in many countries of the world according to literatures, we can mention the lack of knowledge of the health care team about the principles of palliative care and the lack of necessary infrastructure. This book will be written with the aim of improving the knowledge and empowerment of the treatment team in the field of the basics of supportive and palliative care for children, and by increasing their knowledge, it can help in providing these services.
