Abstract

Palliative care aims to improve the quality of life for individuals with serious illnesses, emphasizing comfort, dignity, and support. However, access to palliative care remains uneven, with underserved populations facing significant barriers due to socioeconomic, cultural, and systemic factors. This article examines the importance of health equity in palliative care, focusing on community-based interventions designed to bridge gaps for marginalized groups. By exploring methodologies, outcomes, and discussions around these efforts, this article highlights the necessity of tailored strategies to address disparities and improve equitable access to palliative care services.
