Palliative treatment specialists aim to enhance the quality of life of the patients as well as their families. Doctors and nurses are also trained to give the best palliative care while treating and managing the underlying disease. They work hand in hand with the patients, including their primary care providers and families. This is to provide more support that complements the current treatment.
