What is Palliative Care?

Palliative care is a comprehensive type of care individually tailored to individuals who are in the final stages of their life, which could be due to natural deterioration from old age or terminal illnesses and diseases.

The objective of palliative care is to ensure that those receiving end of life care are comfortable in their environment, with a focus on reducing pain and alleviating symptoms as well as maintaining dignity, and fulfilling their wishes. Care staff also support loved ones during this time.
