What is palliative care?

Palliative care is part of hospice care. It focuses on improving the quality of life for people. Palliative care is the term used to describe treatment, care and support when an illness is no longer viewed as curable, and someone is unlikely to get better or recover.  Hospices in New Zealand are the specialists in this type of care and focus on helping people live every moment as they wish until they die.
