Palliative Care

Palliative care is a type of specialized medical care that aims to improve the quality of life of patients facing serious illnesses, such as cancer, heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and others. The goal of palliative care is to provide relief from symptoms, pain, and stress, and to offer emotional and spiritual support to both the patient and their family.

Palliative care is often provided by a team of healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, social workers, and chaplains. This team works together to manage pain and other symptoms, such as nausea, fatigue, and difficulty breathing. They also offer emotional and practical support to help patients and their families cope with the challenges of serious illness.
