Abstract

Palliative care is a specialized medical approach focused on improving the quality of life for patients with complex, life-limiting illnesses. The primary goal of palliative care is not to cure the disease but to alleviate suffering, manage symptoms, and support both patients and their families through challenging circumstances. Palliative care teams, which typically consist of physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains, and other specialists, work collaboratively to address the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of the patient. This article explores the essential role of palliative care teams in managing complex illnesses, focusing on the multidisciplinary approach that ensures holistic care and improves the overall well-being of patients and families. It delves into the importance of early integration of palliative care in the treatment of serious illness and its impact on patient outcomes.
