Abstract
In Poland (population 38.7 million) around 1,200 children aged one to 19 years with life-limiting conditions died each year between 1985 and 1996, making a rate of 10.4 deaths per 100,000 children. Seventy-four percent of these child deaths occurred in hospital, while 26% occurred at home; around half of the children died from cancer. At present, 29 palliative care services (five independent, 24 attached to adult services) provide home care for children; two of these services have paediatric inpatient units.
