A child undergoing treatment for a chronic illness is affected not only physically, but also emotionally.
Their psychological well-being plays a vital role in how they cope with their condition, yet, this aspect is often overlooked.
For many children facing serious, incurable or life-threatening illnesses, emotional distress can weigh as heavily as physical pain.
That is why paediatric palliative care specialists at Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) are emphasising the role of psychotherapy in this area of medicine.
UMMC consultant paediatric palliative care physician Dr Chong Lee Ai explains that their duty goes far beyond managing physical symptoms.
“Our role is to care for their physical, psychosocial, mental health and spiritual needs – a holistic approach that focuses on quality of life,” she says.
