Supportive care refers to the range of services and interventions that aim to improve the quality of life for individuals with chronic or serious illnesses. This can include physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual support to help patients manage symptoms, cope with the challenges of their illness, and maintain their overall well-being. Supportive care may be provided by a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, social workers, and counselors, and can be integrated into a patient's overall treatment plan to provide comprehensive care. The goal of supportive care is to enhance the patient's comfort and quality of life, while also helping them to navigate the complexities of their illness and treatment.
