What Is the Difference Between Palliative Care and Primary Care?

Palliative care is specialized medical care for individuals with serious illnesses. It focuses on:

• Comfort, quality of life, and symptom management
• Support at any stage of illness, alongside curative treatment
• Improving quality of life for both patients and their families
