What Is Palliative Care?

Most people interchange palliative care with the term “hospice care.” While both have the same principles, and that is to provide relief from discomfort and improve the overall quality of life, hospice care primarily focuses on offering support for those with a terminal illness or are approaching the end of their life. Palliative care is all about providing comfort regardless of the life expectancy of a person.
