We discussed in detail in our previous post new law just passed in Parliament, the Law No. 1771 on " provisions to ensure access to palliative care and pain therapy. "

Previously we reported the particular aspect which is the situation of children suffering from incurable and the specific needs of these children, teens and their families.

We now return to one aspect of the Law No. 1771 concerning its the care and protection of these children .

Orzalesi Marcello, senior lecturer in child care and children's clinic at the University La Sapienza of Rome, as well as the scientific coordinator of Maruzza Lefebvre D'Ovidio Foundation Onlus , mentioned by us, indicates that Article 5, paragraph 3, the Act provides "a hospital network, dedicated land and home to the child, separate from that of the adult, and must ensure that adequate palliative care for children patients suffering from incurable diseases (life-limiting and life-threatening) with the creation of new Pediatric Hospice , involvement of pediatricians in hospitals, outpatient and family, training of skilled health workers and recognition of skills acquired in the field. "

Italy is set to make a big step to be welcomed . They have been years of battles, campaigns and awareness, pressure to achieve this goal and ART . is one of the realities that have commit. But a law is not enough to transform today's reality. The length of time in which adults, children, teens and their families continue to angustiarsi because of incurable diseases and full of suffering will decrease only if Law operating will be made quickly.
