About Palliative Care

Palliative care is a specialized approach aimed at improving the quality of life for patients facing serious, chronic, or life-limiting illnesses. It focuses on relieving pain and other distressing symptoms such as fatigue, breathlessness, nausea, and anxiety, while also addressing the emotional, psychological, social, and spiritual needs of patients and their families. This holistic care is provided alongside curative treatments or as the main focus when curative options are no longer effective. Palliative care teams work closely with patients, families, and other healthcare providers to develop personalized care plans that support comfort, dignity, and emotional well-being, helping patients maintain the best possible quality of life throughout their illness journey.
