Palliative care can be helpful at any stage of illness and is best provided from the point of diagnosis to help minimize symptoms. In addition to improving quality of life and helping with symptoms, palliative care can help patients understand their choices for medical treatment. The organized services available through palliative care may be helpful to any older person having a lot of general discomfort and disability very late in life. Palliative care can be provided along with curative treatment and does not depend on prognosis.

The palliative care consultation team at Bangkok Hospital Chiang Mai is a multidisciplinary team that works with the patient, family, and the patient's other doctors to provide medical, social, emotional, and practical support.
