Healthcare facilities often show reluctance in providing extended care to long-term patients. A senior consultant at Hamidia Hospital stated, "We receive referrals. The whole hospital is palliative care. District hospitals and others are mandated for creating palliative care support," highlighting the absence of a dedicated facility.
