Exploring pediatric palliative care in Luxembourg: a mixed-methods study
This study presents, for the first time, data on pediatric palliative care in Luxembourg, with a focus on service availability, the legal framework, and the estimated number of children requiring care. The findings highlight the urgent need for a structured pediatric palliative care service to address this country's growing demand and unmet needs. In addition, it is essential to support the implementation of the "National Plan for End of Life and Palliative Care" from 2023 to 2026, which includes a dedicated focus on children.
