A Brief Review on Palliative Care: End-of-Life Care in India

Umaima Khan

Palliative care is a type of medical care focused on providing relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress of serious illnesses. The goal of palliative care is to improve the quality of life for patients and their families by addressing their physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. Palliative care can be provided at any stage of an illness and can be integrated into other medical treatments. It is not limited to end-of-life care and can be used to manage symptoms and improve quality of life throughout the course of an illness.
