Traditional Medicine World Congress-TMC 2026

Holistic palliative care focuses on improving quality of life for individuals facing life-limiting or chronic illnesses by addressing physical, emotional, psychological, social, and spiritual needs. Integrating traditional medicine and complementary therapies, this approach emphasizes compassionate, patient-centered care that extends beyond symptom management. This session at the Traditional Medicine World Congress 2026 will explore the role of holistic palliative care within integrative healthcare frameworks.

The session will cover pain and symptom management, emotional and spiritual support, traditional therapies, and non-pharmacological interventions that enhance comfort and dignity. Discussions will also address interdisciplinary collaboration, family support, ethical considerations, and cultural sensitivity in end-of-life care. By combining conventional palliative medicine with traditional healing practices, this session aims to promote comprehensive, humane, and culturally respectful care for patients and families during serious illness and end-of-life stages.
