Better Life Irrespective of Outcome
Palliative care is a branch of medicine focused on fighting pain, distress and suffering. It is a critical component of healthcare that relieves the suffering of patients and their families while respecting their dignity and right to make informed choices.
Whether or not the patient beats cancer, palliative care is imperative from as early a stage as possible.CanSupport's Core BeliefWhy Is Palliative Care Critical?
