Pediatric Palliative Care Program Implementation in LMICs: A Systematic Review using SWOT Analysis.

Context: Of the estimated 21 million children world-wide who need access to pediatric palliative care (PPC), about 97% currently reside in low-and middle-income countries (LMIC). Access to PPC programs in LMIC are limited, and successful strategies and barriers to program implementation remain understudied.

Objectives: We conducted a systematic review to characterize the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) of PPC program implementation in LMIC.
