Palliative care between necessity and reality. Evaluation of the need for the development of palliative care services

Summary/Abstract: Palliative care social work has emerged largely as a specialty health-related clinical social work on a global scale. Palliative care teams are relied upon to support patients and their families as a result of people living longer with serious illnesses and chronic diseases. An essential component of the interprofessional palliative care team are the social workers. In this study, I want to discuss the need for palliative care services to expand across the nation, with a particular emphasis on Galati County. The study's thesis is that because palliative care is currently underfunded and because socioeconomic developments provide significant obstacles, the state must take specific action. Additionally, this paper explains the role of social workers in hospital-based palliative care. It also examines some important statistical data about palliative care in Galati County.
