PALLIATIVE CARE IS…
Palliative Care is the knowledge & skills to manage the experience of patients and families with an illness with any diagnosis, anytime there is need. It aims to prevent & relieve suffering, and promote quality of life, death & bereavement. It can be provided concurrent with care to manage the underlying disease, or it can be the total focus of care.
