Rezumat

Advancing medical technology has made it possible for many people to live longer than ever before. However, when the possibility of curing patients no longer exists, care should not be discontinued, but rather should shift to comforting the patients and their families. This type of care, labeled palliative care, is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as “an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing the problems associated with life-threatening illness, through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification and impeccable assessment and treatment of pain and other problems, physical, psychosocial and spiritual.
