Technological advancements in neonatology contribute to the care and maintenance of newborns’ lives; however, its overuse is associated with increased morbidities and suffering. Having bioethics as its theoretical framework, this systematic literature review elucidates the provision of neonatal palliative care. Results analysis resulted in four categories: 1) poor inclusion of palliative care and bioethics in neonatal specialization curricula; 2) professionals’ inability to communicate with family members; 3) exclusion of family members from decision-making; and 4) need for further studies and discussions regarding neonatal and home palliative care and organ donation. Palliative care contributes to people’s quality of life and death, despite being taboo in the case of newborns
