Terminally Ill

Patients Terminally ill patients are individuals diagnosed with an advanced, incurable medical condition with a limited life expectancy. It is important to provide these patients with the best quality of care possible, as they often enter a stage of physical and emotional suffering. This includes having access to palliative care, pain management, emotional and spiritual support, and, if desired, end-of-life decisions. Terminally ill patients should also be given the opportunity to make decisions concerning the type and timing of their treatments while preserving the dignity and privacy they deserve. The quality of care received by terminally ill patients is essential to help ensure their comfort and dignified death.
