What is Palliative Care?

Palliative care is a specialized form of medical support designed to improve the quality of life for individuals facing serious or life-limiting illnesses. Rather than focusing only on curing disease, palliative care centers focus on relieving pain, managing symptoms, reducing stress, and providing emotional and spiritual support. A coordinated team of doctors, nurses, social workers, and volunteers works together to ensure comfort and dignity for patients and their families. Palliative care can be provided alongside curative treatment or as part of end-of-life care, helping patients feel more at ease and supported during their most vulnerable moments.
