This is reported by the National Agency for Social Protection.
The visiting team includes medical specialists, social workers and psychologists. They help children at home, help alleviate pain and other symptoms of diseases, develop individual support plans for children and their loved ones, and teach parents how to care for them.
Shahnoza Mirziyoyeva, First Deputy Director of the National Agency for Social Protection, noted that palliative care should take into account not only the medical needs of the child, but also his interests, desires and the right to a full life.
"We cannot change the child's diagnosis, but we can change every day of his life," she stressed.
According to Mirziyoyeva, the goal of the project is to provide families with the opportunity to receive necessary care both at home and in a hospice. In addition, the initiative aims to change the attitude of society towards children with incurable diseases, so that attention is paid not only to the diagnosis, but also to the personality of each child.
The Inson Social Service centers open an individual case for each child and help arrange the necessary social services and technical rehabilitation facilities. Depending on the needs, children are provided with adapted wheelchairs, verticizers, functional beds and anti-bedsore mattresses.
At the same time, the National Agency for Social Protection continues to build the first children's hospice in Uzbekistan, which will work with its own mobile team.
After the construction is completed, the inpatient hospice and the field service should become a unified system of palliative care for children and support for their families.
