Today in Great Britain a week of children's health started. In this regard, Buckingham Palace on its website published a video on which the main character is Kate Middleton, visiting the children's hospice. In the video, in addition to the way Kate spends time with ill children, viewers will also be able to see a snippet of speech that was addressed to the parents of sick children.
Qualified help is the main thing in the fight against diseases
The video was taken early this year, when Middleton visited the clinic in Kudenhama. There Kate not only talked to the children and participated in the manufacture of various crafts in the room of art therapy, but also talked with the attendants. After the meeting with the little patients was over, Middleton gave a speech in which were these words:
"When a child is sick, and even more incurable, this is the worst thing parents can face. I believe that we must do everything to alleviate the fate of these families. That's why we open various hospices in different cities of Great Britain so that our little patients can get qualified help, which is very important. I want to believe that the staff that serves the hospices does everything in their power, because it depends on them how many precious minutes parents will spend with their child. "
After that, Middleton turned from the screens to everyone present:
"Very soon we will celebrate a week of children's health. In our country, a lot of volunteers who help young children in the fight against terrible diseases. I would very much like to learn about as many people as possible about these citizens. Without them, without their labor, much would be impossible. On my behalf, I want to thank them for their dedicated work, which makes me admire them. "

Barbara Gelb commented on Kate's words
After the statements of the Duchess of Cambridge, the press published an interview with Barbara Gelb, general director of Together for Short Lives, a hospice that Middleton attended at the beginning of the year. That's what words were in Barbara's interview:
"I know for sure that when parents are informed of a terrible diagnosis of their child, they are not just in confusion, but in great confusion. Most of all they care about the moment of what can be done to save their baby. For many, this is so unexpected that they do not understand what they need to do next. That's why, Kate's words are so important. Hospices with qualified personnel are one of the most important things that should be in this case. Such institutions are the support that parents need so much. It is very important that such clinics are not only affordable, but also very positive, because some children live in them for more than a month. "
