Received Date: Dec 01, 2025 / Published Date: Dec 29, 2025
Abstract
Palliative care delivery in rural areas faces unique obstacles. Community-based and telehealth interventions can improve access, but require cultural adaptation and infrastructure development. Integrating palliative care into primary care, addressing social determinants, and utilizing volunteer programs are key. Policy changes and quality improvement are necessary for sustainable, patient-centered care.
