Résumé
Pediatric palliative care (PPC) helps maintain the quality of life for both children and their families. It has been identified as an important goal within the global health agenda. In Saudi Arabia, the discipline remains in its infancy, as illustrated by the absence of PPC programs in academic and health care institutions. The aim was to conduct a pilot study assessing physicians' knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions toward PPC. Data were gathered through a self-administered questionnaire sent to physicians working in Saudi Arabia. One hundred twelve completed the survey (male 54.2%, Multiple gaps were identified. PPC basic concepts should be included in the formal medical curriculum (e.g., pain management, communication, and ethical considerations at the end of life). There is also a significant need to develop further both primary and specialized palliative care.
