Palliative care is a service which is mainly targeted at, taking care of the patients who are suffering from incurable diseases and also their families. The best thing about this service is that, it is committed to looking after the welfare of the families of those patients even after their death.
The most needed palliative care service has been initiated at the Karapitiya Teaching Hospital by the leadership and the guidance of the Senior Oncological Surgeon, Doctor Chryshantha Perera in order to enhance the quality of the lives of the patients and their families.
Yet, there is no separate palliative care unit at the Karapitiya Teaching Hospital and there is a huge need of such a unit to treat the targeted patients. Thus, our society is now in action, in order to collect funds for this cause to enhance the quality and the efficiency of this service.
The palliative Care unit describes a service which is dedicated to caring for terminally-ill patients and their family members and to supporting the family members even after the demise of their loved one.
