Definitions of Palliative Care

•Helps all those with advanced, progressive, incurable illness to live as well as possible until they die

•It enables the supportive and palliative care needs for both patient and family to be identified and met throughout the last phase of life and into bereavement.

•It includes management of pain and other symptoms and provision of psychological, social, spiritual and practical support.(Source: National council for Palliative Care 2006)
