Palliative care is a type of medical treatment for those who are suffering from a terminal illness. This sort of treatment focuses on alleviating the illness's symptoms and stress. The goal is to improve the patient's and family's quality of life.
Due to an increase in demand for palliative care facilities
by patients suffering from chronic illnesses, the palliative
care market revenue is predicted to grow significantly over the
forecast period. According to the Center for Advance Palliative Care (CAPC),
the number of hospitals with a palliative care team in North America climbed
from 658 to 1,831 between 2000 and 2016, a 178 percent rise.
Palliative care is a medical speciality that focuses on
providing a patient-centered and family-centered approach to anticipating,
preventing, and treating pain as disease progresses in order to assist families
in making medically critical decisions. Palliative care strives to improve
patients' and families' quality of life by focusing on aggressive symptom
control and psychosocial support. Palliative care is critical in assisting
patients, their families, and caregivers in comprehending the nature of their
illnesses and prognoses.
