Palliative care and hospice care both aim to enhance comfort and quality of life, but they serve different purposes. Palliative care can be provided at any stage of a serious illness, often alongside treatments aimed at a cure. Its focus is on symptom management and improving quality of life.

At this point, the focus shifts from curing the illness to providing comfort, addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Both types of care are essential in offering support to patients and their families during challenging times.
