安寧緩和照護（Palliative care）的目標是透過緩解症狀、減輕疼痛、提供心理與靈性支持，來提升病人與家屬的生活品質（Quality of life）。這類照護並不等同於放棄治療，也不侷限於末期病人，而是與疾病治療並行，旨在幫助病人舒適地度過餘生或減輕治療帶來的痛苦，尊重病人的自主權與願望。
The goal of palliative care is to improve the quality of life of patients and their families by relieving symptoms, easing pain, and providing psychological and spiritual support. This type of care is not equivalent to abandoning treatment, nor is it limited to end-stage patients; it is provided alongside disease-directed treatment to help patients live their remaining lives comfortably or to alleviate the suffering associated with treatment, while respecting the patient's autonomy and wishes.
