Abstract Pediatric palliative care refers to the comprehensive physical, mental, and psychological care provided to the children with life-threatening diseases, as well as support for their families, aiming to provide the best quality of life for children and their families. In the face of the large population of children in China, the increasing demand for palliative care services and the insufficient development of related service resources are existential problems in the field of palliative care for children in China. This article reviews the implementation and current development status of pediatric palliative care in China.
