3 Palliative care is defined as: An approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing the problem associated with life-threatening illness, through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification and impeccable assessment and treatment of pain and other problems, physical, psychosocial and spiritual. (World Health Organisation, 2009) The goal of palliative care is to achieve the best quality of life for patients and their families. Most people gradually deteriorate towards the active dying phase after a period of illness: less than 10% die suddenly or unexpectedly (Emanuel et al. 2008).
