Abstract

To present the experience of building and maintaining a pediatric palliative care service (PPC) in a hospital under the administration of the Health Department of the State of Ceará, Brazil. This is an experience report. The service began at the institution in 2017, with a minimal advisory team, including medical professionals, a nurse, a psychologist and a social worker. The growing recognition of the importance of palliation has required a reassessment of paradigms. These setbacks were faced not only with the patients' families, but also with the care teams. Despite progress, early referral remains a challenge in everyday life. Setting up a service dedicated to pediatric palliative care is a process that requires consideration of different elements. Discussing the structuring of such a specific service aims to share learnings and encourage the continuous evolution of the area, promoting a multidimensional approach to care.
