What is Palliative care?

 People with seriousillnesses can receive specialized medical care called palliative care. Relief from the illness's symptoms and stress is the main goal of this kind of care. The objective is to enhance the patient's and the family's quality of life.

A specifically trained group of physicians, nurses, and other professionals who collaborate with a patient's medical clinicians to offer an additional layer of support provides palliative care. Palliative care is based on the patient's needs rather than their prognosis. At any age or stage of a serious illness, it is suitable, and it can be given in addition to curative care.

For patients and their families, palliative care aims to alleviate suffering and offer the highest quality of life possible. Pain, despair, shortness of breath, exhaustion, nausea, loss of appetite, trouble sleeping, and worry are just a few symptoms that may appear. You can count on the group to give you the support you need to get through each day. In essence, palliative care will help you live a better life.

Recent research has also demonstrated that patients with serious illnesses who got palliative care lived longer than those who did not, with one such study appearing in the New Engl


and Journal of Medicine.
