Palliative Care
When facing a serious illness, patients and their families need more than just medical treatments; they need comprehensive support that addresses not only physical symptoms but also emotional, spiritual, and social needs. Palliative care provides this holistic approach, focusing on improving the quality of life for both patients and their families. Our palliative care services are designed to offer comfort, dignity, and peace of mind during one of life’s most challenging times.
Understanding Palliative Care
Palliative care is specialised medical care for people living with serious illnesses, such as cancer, heart failure, chronic lung disease, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and many others. It focuses on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of the illness, with the goal of improving the quality of life for both the patient and the family. Palliative care is appropriate at any age and at any stage of a serious illness and can be provided alongside curative treatment.
