Abstract
The increase in chronic diseases and the number of individuals who cannot survive by living alone emerges as a serious problem with the increased life expectancy of people around the globe. Geriatrics and palliative care overlap in many ways, although they are different medical specializations. Both are multidisciplinary fields seeking to improve the patient's quality of life, personal abilities, and social participation with patient and family-centered activities. We think that the synergy emerging from the combination of these specializations will be a role model for interdisciplinary collaboration in healthcare and improve patients' quality of life.
