Palliative Care
Palliative care is a form of specialized healthcare that focuses on reducing the pain and discomfort of a person, as well as improving their quality of life. It is used for people with serious, life-limiting or life-threatening illnesses, such as cancer, heart disease, chronic lung disease, dementia and HIV/AIDS. The goal of palliative care is to ease suffering, improve symptom management, and provide psychosocial, spiritual, and emotional support for the patient and their families. It can be provided in hospitals, home care, hospices, and other healthcare settings. Palliative care is a key component of end-of-life care and can help to extend life expectancy as well as improve quality of life.
