The Service is known as “Cuidando de tí”, a program by Fundación Valle del Lili; where a team of professionals with long experience and great human warmth provide palliative care through a multidisciplinary, comprehensive and continuous intervention, satisfying the needs of children with complex, chronic and limiting diseases, with the aim of improving their quality of life and that of their families.

-Palliative care starts when a disease is diagnosed and will continue whether the child receives specific treatment for the underlying disease or not.
-Our team assesses and alleviates physical, psychosocial or spiritual problems affecting the child.
