Hospice care is dedicated to patients nearing the end of life, addressing physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs through a specialized team. Unlike curative treatments, hospice aims to maximize quality of life rather than cure. For individuals with a life expectancy of six months or less, hospice care provides pain relief, counselling, and support for both patients and families. In contrast, palliative care is administered alongside curative treatment for terminal illnesses like cancer, focusing on symptom relief and enhancing overall well-being, regardless of prognosis or age.
