Palliative care aims to enhance the quality of life for individuals facing various illnesses. This specialized care is provided to those suffering from a wide range of diseases, including but not limited to cancer, heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), renal failure, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Additionally, palliative care plays a crucial role in supporting patients diagnosed with COVID-19.
Palliative care teams play a pivotal role in improving quality of life for patients. Their approach includes aiding patients in coping with medical treatments, aligning treatment choices with individual goals, offering support to family caregivers, and more. This comprehensive support is central to the ethos of palliative care.
Palliative care provides support for those with progressive neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s Disease, and ALS. It offers pain management, emotional support, and assistance in making decisions that align with the patient’s values and wishes.
Specialized palliative care teams assist patients with various cancers, including breast, colon, head and neck, lung, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate, leukemia and lymphoma, and multiple myeloma, to manage symptoms and side effects of treatment while helping to maintain quality of life.
For chronic conditions such as COPD, kidney disease, liver disease, and pulmonary fibrosis, palliative care is essential. It provides relief from distressing symptoms, helps with complex medical decision-making, and offers support for family caregivers.
Patients with HIV/AIDS, Sickle Cell Anemia, and Eosinophil Associated Disease (EAD) can benefit from palliative care, which addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of living with these conditions.
