Universal palliative care for healthy longevity
Article
The term palliative care was first coined in the 1970s, following the work of Cicely Saunders with patients with cancer. Palliative care introduced the concept of total pain—including not only physical symptoms of pain
but also psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions Palliative care aims to improve the quality of life of people with life-threatening illnesses, as well as their families, through interventions aimed at physical symptoms
(such as pain and problems with breathing) alongside counselling and other support. It has been shown to mitigate the risk of unnecessary medical interventions and hospital admissions, to increase the likelihood of
dying at home, and to improve mental health outcomes.
