Hospice and Palliative Care Eligibility

Hospice and palliative care services are provided to terminal cancer patients whose life expectancy is estimated to be less than six months. These are patients for whom active anticancer treatments such as surgery or chemotherapy are no longer effective, and whose condition is progressively deteriorating.
However, hospice and palliative care may also be provided to patients whose life expectancy is not necessarily less than six months, if their disease has significantly progressed and they are in need of pain or symptom relief, provided that they are conscious and able to communicate.

• Patients who, together with their families, have accepted the diagnosis and discussed the prognosis, and have decided to receive non-curative nursing care focused on pain and symptom relief
• Terminal cancer patients who have been referred for pain control and symptom management, or who are approved for hospice care by a physician
