WELCOME TO RIDE FOR PALLIATIVE CARE
Let's ride to support Hospis Malaysia Palliative Care.

Malaysian Masters Cycling Association raises funds in support of Hospis Malaysia Palliative Care by hosting an inaugural 'Ride For Palliative Care' in Putrajaya on 30th November 2014.

What is Palliative Care?
Palliative care is a holistic, multi-disciplinary approach that includes specialised medical care for people with serious illnesses. It focuses on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress of a serious illness—whatever the diagnosis. The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family. Palliative care is provided by a team of doctors, nurses and other specialists who work together with a patient’s other doctors to provide an extra layer of support. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness and can be provided along with curative treatment.
Physicians sometimes use the term palliative care in a sense meaning palliative therapies without curative intent, when no cure can be expected (as often happens in late-stage cancers). For example, tumor debulking can continue to reduce pain from mass effect even when it is no longer curative. A clearer usage is palliative, non curative therapy when that is what is meant, because palliative care can be used along with curative or aggressive therapies.
