Through this, it prevents meaningless treatments, respects the dignity of patients and their families, and helps them live with dignity until the end.

Deciding on hospice care at the appropriate time can also extend life a little longer. According to research results, patients receiving hospice care experience reduced burden from treatment and a better quality of life.

An official from Suncheon Medical Center said, “The hospice palliative care education will be held from May 30 to 31, 2023, in the program room on the 5th floor of the new building of Suncheon Medical Center,” and added, “The registration fee is 8,000 won, and the number of recruits is 20, so we hope for active participation.”
