The SIOP Global Health Network’s Palliative Care Working Group seeks to facilitate education, implementation and evaluation of efforts in palliative care for children with cancer globally, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) in collaboration with the developed world. The group welcomes multidisciplinary members and partners in the fields of research, advocacy, capacity building and education. We look forward to ensuring that more children, adolescents and young adults have access to palliative care in various parts of the world.
