The Local Health Unit of Almada-Seixal (ULSAS) marks today, October 9th, World Pediatric Palliative Care Awareness Day, joining the international campaign #HatsOn4CPC.

The Intra-hospital Support Team for Pediatric Palliative Care (EIHSCP-P) of ULSAS is joining the #HatsOn4CPC campaign, promoted by the International Children Palliative Care NetWork (ICPCN).
All children with complex, limiting, or life-threatening health conditions have the right to pediatric palliative care. More than medical support, the team ensures a humane, integrated, and complete approach, guaranteeing that every child can live with the utmost quality, comfort, and dignity – Today and every day.
ULS Almada-Seixal invites the community to accept the challenge: put on a hat, take a photo, and share it on social media, identifying the institution and using the hashtag #HatsOn4CPC.
