PALLIATIVE GENÈVE:
The Palliative Care Portal for Everyone
Because when faced with a difficult medical situation, whether personally or professionally, multiple forms of support are essential.
Support that addresses more than just the disease is crucial to make life as smooth as possible.
Palliative Genève helps you quickly find the answers and resources you need and connects you with the appropriate services and professionals.
We bring together all actors in Geneva who, in one way or another, help support the comfort and quality of life of individuals facing a progressive, incurable illness and their loved ones.
What is Palliative Care?
Palliative care encompasses a broad spectrum of psychological, medical, social, and spiritual support. Its purpose is to alleviate the suffering and complications arising from incurable, potentially life-limiting and/or progressive chronic conditions for both patients and their families.
The aim of palliative care is to offer support and alleviate suffering, in order to ensure the best possible quality of life throughout the remainder of life.
