Palliative Care for Children in Odesa
The Odesa Specialized Children's Home No. 1 houses a palliative care unit where children with serious health conditions receive essential medical support.
The youngest child in the unit is just 1 year and 3 months old, while the oldest is 15. The unit primarily accommodates children with congenital nervous system disorders, cerebral palsy, and other complex conditions.
The unit is equipped with modern medical devices acquired through the city budget with the support of benefactors.
Children receive costly treatments for free, along with specialized nutritional support, all while being cared for in a comfortable environment surrounded by attentive staff.
In conjunction with palliative care, the Children's Home also provides opportunities for medical rehabilitation for the children.
This week, representatives from the Kyiv District Administration, Compassion Medical (USA), and the Baptist Church “House of Prayer” visited the Children’s Home.
During the meeting, current needs of the institution were discussed. An agreement was reached to assist in acquiring medical equipment that will significantly enhance care for the children and ease the workload of the staff.
