WHAT IS HOSPICE?

The word “Hospice” signifies institutions or programs that provides pallitive care for people when cure from a terminal disease is no longer an option.

Palliative care involves focusing on providing comfort when cure is no longer an option. Care is directed towards enhancing the quality of life by addressing control of pain and distressing physical and emotional symptoms. Hospice provides palliative care to patients and their families through a multi-disciplinary team, addressing physical, emotional, social, and spiritual human needs.
