Palliative care aims to enhance the quality of life for those with life-limiting illnesses by addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. In this talk, we will dispel common myths, including the misconception that palliative care is solely for patients living with cancer. In light of rising living costs, we will also discuss the affordability of care and financial assistance options available to patients and their families.
