1- What is palliative care, and when is it needed?
Palliative care is a type of medical support provided to patients with chronic or life-threatening illnesses such as cancer, organ failure, or advanced neurological diseases. It aims to improve quality of life by alleviating pain and physical or emotional symptoms. It complements, rather than replaces, curative treatment and can begin at any stage of the illness.
2- Does receiving palliative care mean the patient is in the final stage?
