……..

 

  1. Objective.

The purpose of this Standard is to establish the minimum essential criteria and procedures that allow the provision, through inter and multidisciplinary health teams, of palliative care services to patients suffering from a terminal illness, in order to contribute to providing them well-being and a dignified quality of life until the moment of death, promoting respectful behaviors and strengthening the autonomy of the patient and his/her family, preventing possible actions and behaviors that result in abandonment or prolongation of agony, as well as avoiding the application of measures that are potentially capable of constituting aggressive medical treatment or "therapeutic obstinacy."

 

  1. Scope.

This Standard is mandatory throughout the national territory for all those establishments and providers of medical care services in the public, social, and private sectors of the National Health System that specifically have an area of service for the provision of palliative care services to patients suffering from a terminal illness.
