Palliative Care
Palliative care is a highly specialised form of medical care that focuses on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of a serious illness. It is tailored to improve the quality of life for both the client and their family. Palliative care addresses the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the client, with the aim of helping them to live as comfortably as possible. This type of care encompasses pain management, symptom control, assistance with medication, emotional support for the patient and their family, and spiritual care. It also focuses on providing guidance and support to the client family to help them cope with the challenges of their loved one’s illness. Palliative care aims to provide a sense of dignity, comfort, and peace for client, as they approach the end of life.
