Palliative Approach to Care

Many People are Cured of their Cancer

For Others becomes Chronic Disease

Integrate Palliative Care Earlier
“Palliative care is an approach that improves the quality of life of patients
WHO Definition of Palliative Care
and their families facing the problem associated with life- threatening illness
through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification
and impeccable assessment and treatment of pain and
- ther problems,
physical, psychosocial and spiritual.”
“…..is applicable early in the course of illness, in conjunction with other therapies that are intended to
prolong life, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy, and includes those investigations needed to better understand and manage distressing clinical complications.”
- Palliative Care DOES NOT just
mean End of Life care
- The illness does not need to
be incurable in order for a person to receive a palliative approach to care
