The aim of Palliative care is to relieve the suffering and better the quality of life for patients and their families.  Patients have different kinds of diseases and they respond to treatment differently also. The key factor of palliative care is that the treatment is customized to fit in the individual needs of the patients. Palliative care helps patients to gain insight into their problems as well as gain strength to manage their daily life better. It enhances their tolerance levels towards their medical treatments. In short, palliative care offers the patients best quality of life during and in spite of the illness.
Palliative care helps both the patient and their family members. Along with medical treatment, supports for the family and solving the communication blocks among the family members are also the main goals.
