Paediatric Palliative Care in a Reference Centre of Inherited Metabolic Diseases.

Mitochondrial, lysosomal, and peroxisomal disorders are complex multisystemic diseases that very often have no treatment intended to cure. These patients have a heavy symptom burden and frequent intercurrences.

In the future, PPC should be available for all children and families with life-threatening conditions.
