Palliative care for the child of Naples, the lawyer of the family “Let us avoid the therapeutic happening”

ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “We presented with the family for the Shared Planning of the Cures (PCC), the Monaldi accepted, and tomorrow there will be the first access for the start of the therapeutic path”. So to “Dritto e Rovescio” Francesco Petruzzi, lawyer of the two-year-old family admitted to the Monaldi hospital in Naples after a heart transplant failed. “It is not euthanasia, but a procedure that serves to avoid the therapeutic occurrence, because unfortunately there is no hope,” added the lawyer.

The Shared Care Planning (PCC) is a tool provided for in Article 5 of Law 219/2017 (Informed Consent and Early Treatment Rules) that allows a person, in collaboration with his physician, to define the care and health treatments he wishes to receive or refuse if, in the future, he was in a state of inability to self-determinate.
