CBEC Forum: "Caring Beyond Cure: Navigating Ethics in Palliative Pediatric Care"

CBEC Forum: Caring Beyond Cure: Navigating Ethics in Pediatric Palliative Care, held on December 21, 2024, was led by Dr. Shahzadi Resham, a pioneer in Pediatric Palliative Care in Pakistan. The event was attended by a large onsite audience including several physicians from pediatric specialties and a good number of online participants interested in the topic. The Forum focused on the ethical challenges in caring for children with life-limiting conditions, followed by a detailed case discussion of one of her patients, touching on topics such as difficult treatment decisions, sensitive communication with children and family, informed consent, and disclosure, end-of-life choices, and cultural considerations. The forum provided valuable insights into the intersection of ethics and compassionate pediatric care.
