The whole person care and attention to spiritual and psychosocial needs have been extensively proven to be of relief and active help in clinical situations. The future panorama consisting in a stable raise of patients with chronic diseases, the increase of life span and multicultural societies will be a challenge for health care systems. Palliative care will represent a concrete and ethical answer to provide chronic patients and families with effective and sustainable care.
