Palliative care for children: from understanding to concrete actions

The project “Palliative care for children” was implemented in September – October 2015 within the programme “Public health” supported by the International Fund “Vidrodzhennia”.

During the project  charity events were held: charity photo session, a charity concert “Heart in palms”, auction and a fair of creative works for a targeted assistance for the purchase of medicines for children-oncologic patients – Artem Svyrydovych and Artem Nikohda.
