Diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) 10 years ago, Mr. Lua struggled with constant breathlessness, frequent hospitalisations, and a growing sense of helplessness as his mobility declined. Without caregiver respite, he also felt like a burden to his wife. However, with the compassionate support of palliative care and the team at Assisi Hospice, he learned to manage his symptoms, regaining a better quality of life.
This video is part of Lien Foundation's 'Perspectives on Palliative Care' series, where we hear from both doctors and patients about what palliative care means to them, and understand better why it’s not just for the dying.
