    • It empowers patients and families in decision-making regarding end-of-life care.
    • Hospice brings attention to complex moral and ethical dilemmas in dying.

    Findings:

    • Public education on financial, social, and medical provisions for end-of-life care is insufficient.
    • Healthcare professional training requires enhanced focus on the philosophical aspects of death and dying.
    • Physicians need to prioritize compassionate care for terminally ill patients.
    Keywords:

    Implications:

    • Continued development is crucial for hospice to become a recognized facet of healthcare delivery.
