The term Palliative Care, connotes treatment measures directed at disease related symptoms rather than at the disease itself. Palliative care is intended to provide comfort and to enhance the quality as opposed to the quantity of life. World Health Organisation s (WHO) definition of palliative care suggests that both disease-orientated and palliative treatments should be available over the spectrum of disease stages, and that the availability of palliative care services should be based on need and not on life expectancy.
