Mobile Hospice Service Brings End-of-Life Care to Patients' Homes in Western Slovakia

A mobile hospice service called Most domov is providing specialized care to terminally ill patients in their final stages of illness across the Trnava region of western Slovakia. The service brings palliative care directly to patients' homes, helping both the patients and their families during the most difficult moments. The founders of the mobile hospice are calling for earlier integration of palliative care into treatment protocols, suggesting that such specialized end-of-life care should be introduced sooner in the course of terminal illnesses rather than only in the final stages.
