What are the benefits of palliative care and hospice care?
Palliative care focuses on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of a serious illness like cancer. It aims to improve the quality of life for both the patient and their family. Palliative care can be provided alongside curative treatment and includes pain management, symptom control, and emotional support. Hospice care, a form of palliative care, is for patients nearing the end of life. It emphasizes comfort and quality of life, rather than curative treatment, and provides comprehensive support to patients and their families during this difficult time.
