Hospice palliative care
Hospice palliative care is a service that takes care of the suffering of terminally ill patients and their families with love. It is to help patients spend the rest of their lives in a decent quality life as a human being, and meet the last minute in peace. For families, it means holistic care in which pain and sorrow are relieved.
At Hospice Palliative Care, Shihwa Medical Center, we have a team of doctors, nurses, spiritual caregivers, social workers, and volunteers who are working to help patients and their caregivers with their physical, psychological, social, and spiritual difficulties.
Hospice palliative care recipients
- Patients with terminal diseases including cancer
- Patients in need of pain and symptom relief
