Greetings from Malaysian Association of Paediatric Palliative Care (MAPPAC)!

The overwhelming success of the 1st National Children Conference Palliative Care Malaysia (NCCPCM) 2022 has been an invigorating encouragement for the MAPPAC Committee to plan the 2nd NCCPCM on 21st-23rd August 2025 at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The theme for the conference will be, “When Death is Inevitable, Life is a Choice.” Our focus will visibly encompass; End of life care for the children, Bereavement support and Talking about death to the children. 7 Plenary sessions and 13 Symposiums have been designed to support the conference theme. Key speakers from the United Kingdom, Korea, Singapore and Malaysian speakers will endeavour to deliver for your maximum learning needs.

Running parallel at the conference will be the “Celebration of Life Festival.” It aims to:

• Raise awareness of the impermanence of life to inspire meaningful living.
• Promote cross-cultural understanding on traditions and perspectives regarding death.
• Foster open discussions about grief and loss, in helping to support mental health.
• Celebrate life even in the face of mortality through workshops, exhibitions, art, and other engaging activities.

The registration fees have been deliberately kept at an affordable level to enable many to participate. We welcome you to the conference with the opportunity to enjoy the fine framework on experimental learning and sharing.

President MAPPAC and Organising Chairman NCCPCM 2025
