Bol. Med. Hosp. Infant. Mex. [online]. 2021, vol.78, n.2, pp.102-109.  Epub 21-Abr-2021. ISSN 1665-1146.  https://doi.org/10.24875/bmhim.20000256.

This paper describes the experience in a public pediatric hospital when implementing the Mexican Health Ministry’s recommendations on the inclusion and importance of a chosen caregiver during the hospitalization of a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pediatric patient. The implementation includes the adjustments, observations, and limitations made in real practice and process. In conclusion, the value and benefits of the accompaniment of hospitalized children with COVID-19 by a primary or chosen caregiver are evidenced and supported by family-centered care. Furthermore, the recommendations mentioned result in comprehensive bio-psycho-social care for the benefit of pediatric patients.
