En Argentina se sancionó la Ley de Cuidados Paliativos: ¿de qué se trata?

[{"selector":"#anim-377a7b8c-b17c-4d5c-af78-88b7df89eb4e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-6.998845947236987e-13%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

El objetivo principal de los cuidados paliativos es aliviar el dolor, los síntomas de alguna patología y mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes, su familia y su ambiente.

En la primera semana de julio, el Congreso Nacional sancionó una Ley de Cuidados Paliativos. Esta asegura el acceso de los pacientes a las prestaciones integrales sobre cuidados paliativos en los ámbitos público, privado y de la seguridad social.

Los cuidados paliativos no son únicamente para pacientes terminales. Pueden significar mejor calidad de vida en numerosas enfermedades que no pueden curarse, pero que con las que los pacientes conviven durante mucho tiempo.
