What is Palliative Care?

Palliative care is specialised medical care focused on relieving pain, symptoms, and stress of a serious illness — such as cancer. It aims to improve quality of life for both the patient and their family, at any stage of the disease.

It is not the same as end-of-life care. Palliative care can be provided alongside curative treatment — helping patients feel better while they receive cancer therapy.

Palliative care is delivered with empathy and dignity — addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of every patient and family.
