Comfort care - sustany/dvg GitHub Wiki

Comfort care, also called palliative care, is medical care designed not to cure, but to reduce a patient�s pain and keep him or her comfortable. This kind of medical care focuses on the patient�s quality of life, usually toward his or her end of life. As explained by The National Institute on Aging, a patient can receive palliative care along with treatment intended to cure their serious illness(es). Also, the patient receives palliative care from a palliative care team, a team of different professionals, that provide medical, social, emotional, and practical support.
