Palliative Care in Disasters

Palliative care in disasters focuses on providing comfort and support to individuals facing serious illness, especially during catastrophic events like natural disasters or humanitarian crises. It prioritizes pain relief, emotional support, and quality of life for patients and their families, even when curative treatments are not possible. This care includes addressing physical, psychological, and spiritual needs, ensuring that individuals receive dignity and respect in their final days. The goal is to alleviate suffering and provide compassionate care amidst the chaos and trauma that disasters bring.
