soins palliatifs

Soins palliatifs, or palliative care, are specialized medical services focused on improving quality of life for individuals with serious, chronic, or terminal illnesses. They address physical symptoms like pain and fatigue, as well as emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs. The goal is to provide comfort, support decision-making, and help patients and their families manage complex health challenges. Palliative care can be provided alongside curative treatments or as the primary focus when curative options are no longer effective. It is tailored to each person’s preferences and aims to enhance dignity and wellbeing throughout their health journey.
