Government of Canada Supports McMaster University in Promoting Early Access to Palliative Care by Health Canada on Friday 30 August 2024 02:00 PM UTC+00 | Tags: news-releases Palliative care services are an important part of the health care system, and can improve the quality of life and overall health of many people with a serious illness. Many Canadians find it difficult to discuss serious illness, death, dying and end-of-life care with their loved ones and health care providers. These conversations will be made easier by developing the communication skills of providers and empowering patients with information. This will allow patients to access a palliative approach to care earlier in their illness journey, providing them with the support and resources they need to manage their symptoms, alleviate their suffering, and improve their physical and mental health.
