Palliative care is a specialized approach that focuses on the comprehensive well-being of patients with chronic illnesses, addressing their medical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. The goal is to enhance the patient’s quality of life and provide comfort to their loved ones.
Contrary to common belief, palliative care is not limited to hospice or end-of-life care.
There are important distinctions between hospice and palliative care.
