Palliative care is a specialized form of medical support aimed at improving the quality of life for individuals facing serious, chronic, or life-limiting illnesses. Unlike curative treatments, its primary focus is on managing symptoms such as pain, fatigue, and emotional distress while providing comprehensive physical, emotional, and spiritual support. This care is not limited to end-of-life situations; it can be integrated alongside curative treatments at any stage of illness. By addressing both the patient’s and family’s needs, palliative care ensures comfort, dignity, and enhanced well-being, helping patients navigate complex health challenges with professional guidance and compassionate attention.

Palliative care teams include doctors, nurses, and counselors who collaborate to provide holistic support. Early involvement improves symptom management, reduces hospitalizations, and promotes a better quality of life for patients and families.
