🏥 Palliative Care Activities
Comprehensive Care Combining Compassion, Love, and Empathy
The primary goal of palliative care is to provide physical, psychological, social, and spiritual support to patients experiencing the final stages of life or long-term illnesses. Rather than curing the illness, the focus is on improving the patient's quality of life and ensuring mental relief for both the patient and their family members.
Under the leadership of the Family Health Centre, palliative care activities are efficiently implemented in Karakulam Grama Panchayat. Teams visit patients at their homes to provide necessary medical assistance, treatment instructions, wound care, counseling, and training for family members.
