Palliative care is defined as active and complete care for an individual with an advanced and incurable disease, his family and community. The emphasis of care is on preserving the quality of life, combating pain and other changes that the patient is facing. The patient's family has a key role to play in caring for the sick member. Patients who are in the terminal phase of the disease want to spend their last days in a familiar environment, their home, together with their loved ones. Often, due to the severity of the disease, patients must be placed in a palliative care facility. Patients receive comprehensive care thanks to a specially trained multidisciplinary team.
