Palliative Care
Palliative care is a type of healthcare that focuses on providing relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress of serious illness. It also offers psychological, social, and spiritual support to patients and their families. It is provided by a healthcare team that includes doctors, nurses, social workers, spiritual counselors, and other professionals. Palliative care can be provided at any stage of an illness, from diagnosis to end-of-life care. Its primary goal is to improve the quality of life for patients and their families by providing symptomatic relief and emotional support. Palliative care can be beneficial for anyone living with a serious illness, including those who are actively receiving medical treatments and those who are not.
