Palliative Care is a growing area of interest for doctors from many different branches of clinical medicine, such as general practice, Oncology, Pediatrics and Internal Medicine. We are united by a desire to provide person-centered care within the context of serious illnesses.
Our goal is to improve the quality of life for both the patient and the family through the relief of symptoms and through careful discussion of the challenges that may occur during a serious illness.
Palliative Care is offered by a specialized team of doctors, nurses, counselors and other health care practitioners who work together to place patients and their family at the center of the care plan. They work in collaboration with other attending specialists to provide an extra layer of support.
Patients and their families facing serious illnesses should be offered an extra layer of skilled, medical support called PALLIATIVE CARE. This should be the norm, from the time of diagnosis. This is not happening in the private healthcare sector. Why not and is there a solution?
