Improving Access to Pediatric Symptom Management in Nepal

Improving Access to Pediatric Symptom Management: Engaging and educating health care practitioners to improve the lives of children with serious illness in Nepal

An interdisciplinary team from BC Children's Hospital, Canuck Place Hospice, BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute (BCCHR), and the University of British Columbia partnered with Kanti Children’s Hospital in Nepal to share their expertise in pediatric pain and palliative care.

Together, this team, co-led by Dr. Manon Ranger and Camara van Breemen, was awarded a two-year Global Health BCCHR Seed Grant to provide a two-year training program and investigate facilitators and barriers to applying pediatric palliative care education into practice in Nepal. 

Manon and Camara are excited to share their insights and findings.
