Abstract

Palliative care is a developing medical field that focuses on the provision of emotional, social support along with professional medical help from a group of professionals. Currently, palliative care plays a key role in improving the quality of life of the population in end of life care. In Kazakhstan the end of life care still needs recognition among the general population along with its lack of hospices, staff and proper educational programs. Therefore, the proper analysis of palliative care in Kazakhstan will provide a clear picture of the end of life care in Kazakhstan. The most essential aspect of development of palliative care is assessment of the patients who are eligible for it. The study identifies the categories of the patients who receive the following help in Kazakhstan. The paper will analyze the symptoms (physical and mental state) and pathologies and their stage of progression of the palliative care patients in Kazakhstan. The study will be a crucial step to design better palliative care services in Kazakhstan
