អ្វី​ទៅ​ជា Palliative Care?​​ 

ការថែទាំអ្នកជំងឺគឺជាការថែទាំវេជ្ជសាស្រ្តឯកទេសសម្រាប់អ្នកដែលមានជំងឺធ្ងន់ធ្ងរ។ ប្រភេទនៃការថែទាំនេះគឺផ្តោតលើការផ្តល់ការធូរស្រាលពីរោគសញ្ញា និងភាពតានតឹងនៃជំងឺ។ គោលដៅគឺលើកកម្ពស់គុណភាពជីវិតសម្រាប់ទាំងអ្នកជំងឺ និងគ្រួសារ។​​ 

Palliative care is provided by a specially-trained team of doctors, nurses and other specialists who work together with a patient’s other doctors to provide an extra layer of support. Palliative care is based on the needs of the patient, not the prognosis. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness, and it can be provided along with curative treatment. For examples of how palliative care has impacted patients’ lives, please watch these videos:​​
