Palliative care focuses on improving the quality of life for individuals with serious illnesses by managing symptoms, pain, and emotional distress. It can be provided alongside curative treatments or as the main form of care. End-of-life support, a component of palliative care, specifically addresses the needs of individuals who are nearing the end of their life. This includes managing physical symptoms, providing emotional and spiritual support, and assisting with making important decisions about care preferences. Both approaches aim to ensure comfort and dignity for patients and support their families through the process.
