The provision of palliative care often encounters major challenges such as a shortage of specialists and varying acceptance across regions.

There is a critical need for a dedicated curriculum in internal medicine to improve education on this topic.

Emphasizing psychosocial issues and the goal of alleviating pain is essential. A cultural shift towards promoting palliative care and prioritizing human connection, compassion, and empathy among healthcare professionals is necessary for effective patient support.
