Palliative care guidelines in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic
The Association of Palliative Care Practitioners of South Africa (Palprac) has compiled guidelines for managing adult patients currently receiving home-based palliative care during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As ever, the role of palliative care practitioners in the time of COVID-19 is to keep the “care” in healthcare, even as systems, patients and providers are under siege. Our colleagues at Palprac have put together guidance for home-based palliative care for those patients who either choose not to be referred to hospital or who do not have access to hospital.
