Palliative Care
Palliative Care is a unique form of health care developed to address the needs of the patients with terminal illness. Special focus is given to the needs of the patients and their families when a cure for a life-threatening illness is no longer available.
The primary aim of palliative care is to improve the quality of a person’s life as death approaches and to help patients and their families move towards this reality with comfort, reassurance and strength.
Palliative care is not focused on death; it is about specialised care for the living.
Hospice Care
Hospice Care is terminal care in a special unit within a hospital or in a dedicated Hospice for those palliative patients whose needs exceed the resources available in their present setting.
