A recent article in the Sunday Tribune, a South African weekly newspaper, takes a deeper look at the unbearable burden of care that led a South African mother living in London to kill her three children suffering with SMA and try to kill herself. The story highlights most poignantly the need for more and better palliative care services around the world. We should see this tragedy as a wake up call to all governments and health departments to recognise just how difficult it is for families to care for children with severe disabilities or chronic and degenerative life limiting conditions.
