Participate in our lunch session on the Global Comfort Promise, which aims to present and discuss a quality improvement project to reduce procedural pain in children with cancer in LMICs. 

The session begins with an overview of the current state of pediatric cancer care in LMICs, highlighting the disparities and gaps in pain management. The Global Comfort Promise seeks to bridge these gaps by implementing evidence-based strategies and best practices for pain reduction during needle procedures, highlighting the results of implementing the Global Comfort Promise in Brazil, Peru, the Philippines, and South Africa.
