It is an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families, facing multiple problems associated with serious life threatening diseases.
Our focus shifts from disease to the patient without indulging in unnecessary ICU admissions, ventilators, investigations, procedures, drugs, and the side effects associated with them.
Our main objective is to relieve the intolerable Pain and other distressing symptoms of the patients, improve interpersonal relationships so that they can lead a comfortable and dignified life for decades.
The lecture was highly appreciated by the audience.
