What is Palliative Care

What is Palliative Care? 

Palliative care aims to enhance the quality of life of patients and their families who are faced with a life-threatening illness. It focuses on increasing comfort through prevention and treatment of suffering.Palliative care encompasses the whole self, caring for the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of patients and their families. It provides relief from pain and other symptoms of illness such as fatigue, nausea, shortness of breath, and loss of appetite. The goal is to prevent and relieve these symptoms so you can get on with daily life.

UBU was founded because of my ‘living experience’ in Palliative Care with my mother.  Personally and professionally I do all that I can to support, raise awareness and funds for palliative care every day in every way.
