Curative Care

Curative care refers to medical treatments and services aimed at eliminating or reducing illnesses and health conditions. This type of care focuses on diagnosing a health issue and applying the appropriate interventions, such as medication, surgery, or therapy, to cure the patient or enhance their quality of life. It contrasts with palliative care, which prioritizes comfort and symptom management without necessarily trying to cure the underlying illness. Essentially, curative care seeks to restore health and return the patient to their normal state as effectively as possible.
