Palliative care provides comfort and relief for individuals facing serious illnesses, improving quality of life for both patients and their families. Contrary to common myths, palliative care is not just for end-of-life situations—it can be provided alongside curative treatments and at any stage of illness. By managing symptoms, reducing stress, and offering compassionate support, palliative care ensures that patients receive the care they need while honoring their personal wishes.
