Hospices &
palliative care is a type of care that offers support and care for
patients during their last phase of life. It focuses on critically
ill patient's pain and symptoms, and attending to their spiritual and
emotional needs, with an approach to improve the life of patients and
their families associated with life-threatening illness. Hospice care
can be offered by autonomous hospices or through programs based in
nursing homes, health care organization, outpatient clinics and
hospitals. It can also be offered in the nursing home, patient’s
home, a hospital, or private hospice facility. Home hospice care is
usually less expensive than that provided in hospitals, nursing
homes, or other institutional settings as the cost of additional
staff and highly equipped facilities is circumvented when at home.
Moreover, patients prefer hospice care as the patient desires to
spend the rest of life with loved ones at home.

Demand
still high in the Developed Markets

the hospice & palliative care centers market is segmented into
North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Rest of the
World. Hospice and palliative care centers are now recognized as a
medical subspecialty by the American Board of Medical Specialties, as
well as in Australia, Canada, England, New Zealand, and Ireland. Many
European countries are also in the process of developing
certification for palliative care. Most private health insurance
companies include hospice care as a benefit. Some hospices are able
to provide services without charge if a patient has limited or no
financial resources. Hospice care expenses in U.S. are mostly paid by
the Medicare and Medicaid services and the Department of Veterans
Affairs. Additionally, most of the private insurance plans, health
maintenance organizations (HMOs) and other managed care organizations
also provide the expenses for hospice care in their plans and
policies which further propel the demand for hospice and palliative
care. Such hospice and palliative centers are also being established
in emerging nations such as India, Brazil, Indonesia, and China where
there are affordability issues, and inadequate healthcare
accessibility. The hospice and palliative services market is
therefore establishing in these markets and will be in great demand
