What is Palliative Care
Palliative care is a multi-disciplinary approach to provide specialist medical and nursing care for people with life-limiting illnesses. It focuses on providing relief of pain, physical stress, mental stress, and spiritual problems at any stage of the illness. Caring for the carer and the family of the patient is an integral part of palliative care.
