Palliative care is specialised care that focuses on improving the quality of life for people living with a serious, chronic, or life-limiting illness. It aims to relieve pain, manage symptoms, and provide emotional, social, and spiritual support for both the person and their family. Palliative care can be provided at any stage of an illness and alongside treatments that aim to cure or manage the condition. By taking a holistic approach, it helps individuals maintain comfort, dignity, and the best possible quality of life while supporting their loved ones through challenging times.
