The economic case for investment in palliative care is well established, evidence-based and firmly grounded.
Due to the lack of palliative care resources, the first interaction most people will have with it is when their loved one is reaching the end of life. As a result, it is not surprising that some people believe that it only comes into play when all other treatment options have failed.
Palliative care is so much more than end-of-life. It emphasises improving the quality of life for both patients and their families by focusing on the whole person rather than only their disease.
