Special Editions

Palliative Medicine and Hospice Care – Open Journal (PMHCOJ) publishes advances in palliative care and medicine with the goal of improving patients’ quality of life (QoL) and assisting them in better physical, physiological, and emotional recovery.

A distinction is made between hospice and palliative care, with hospice requiring two physicians to certify that the patient will not live more than six months to participate in this programme.

However, Openventio’s open journal aims to disseminate all detailed matters related to palliative and hospice research and treatment to the scientific community for the benefit of patients.
