Palliative care helps sick people.
It does not cure them. It helps with pain and makes life better.
In Estonia, it is taught very little. Doctors do not know how to do it.
Piret Paal says that training must be better. Currently, there is no practice.
Many people need palliative care: children, young people, and the elderly.
In Estonia, training is worse than in Latvia and Lithuania. In Finland, all doctors must learn it.
Piret and others made 36 new rules. These show what to teach.
For example, how to talk to patients.
In Estonia, there are some new palliative care locations. There are new departments in Tartu and Tallinn. In Viljandi, people can stay at home.
People do not talk about death. This is bad.
From 2027, people will be able to say how they want to die.
Piret says we should talk more about death. Games might help.
