Abstract

Medical advances have increased the number of children living with life-threatening/life-limiting illnesses worldwide, including in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Pediatric palliative care (PPC) is a relatively young subspecialty that cares for children with life-threatening/life-limiting illnesses and their families. PPC aims to alleviate physical, psychological, and social distress in children with life-threatening/life-limiting illnesses and their families and improve their quality of life. PPC is an essential service that should be implemented in all nations, as it is a human right. Moreover, a core value of PPC services is to alleviate children's suffering, irrespective of cure availability. Hence, the global consensus on palliative services must be universal and include developing countries with limited resources. While PPC services are growing internationally, the GCC countries have yet to implement these valuable services in the region. This work aims to define the local base information important to facilitating the PPC program. We explored and identified the information vital for establishing a successful program, which was then categorized and mapped into subgroups. In doing so, we outline a roadmap to facilitate the smooth introduction of PPC in GCC countries to benefit the lives of children with life-limiting illnesses.

制定儿科姑息治疗计划的议程,为海湾合作委员会国家患有危及生命和限制生命疾病的儿童提供服务。
医学的进步增加了世界各地,包括海湾合作委员会国家,患有危及生命/限制生命疾病的儿童人数。儿科姑息治疗(PPC)是一个相对年轻的亚专业,负责照顾患有危及生命/限制生命疾病的儿童及其家人。PPC旨在减轻患有危及生命/限制生命疾病的儿童及其家人的身体、心理和社会痛苦,并提高他们的生活质量。PPC是一项基本服务,应该在所有国家实施,因为它是一项人权。此外,PPC服务的核心价值是减轻儿童的痛苦,而不考虑是否有治疗方法。因此,关于姑息治疗服务的全球共识必须是普遍的,并包括资源有限的发展中国家。尽管PPC服务在国际上不断增长,但海湾合作委员会国家尚未在该地区实施这些宝贵的服务。这项工作旨在定义对促进PPC计划很重要的本地基础信息。我们探索并确定了对建立一个成功的计划至关重要的信息,然后将其分类并映射到子组中。在这样做的过程中,我们概述了一个路线图,以促进海湾合作委员会国家顺利引入PPC,造福患有限制生命疾病的儿童的生活。
