Palliative care
What is PALLIATIVE Care?
Maintain Independence and Autonomy
Palliative care is a holistic approach that addresses the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of patients with a serious illness. It is designed to provide relief from the symptoms and stress of the illness, rather than curing the illness itself. Palliative care can be provided alongside other medical treatments, such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery. Palliative care is a type of specialized medical care that focuses on providing relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress of a serious illness, such as cancer, heart disease, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The goal of palliative care is to improve the quality of life for patients with a serious illness, as well as their families and carers.
