The role of palliative care is to ensure the highest quality of life for the terminally-ill patients and their families. It is vital to integrate and develop palliative care programs within the structure of the community healthcare network under the conditions of demographic dynamics and due to the increase in mortality from oncological or non-oncological conditions. The patient's right to health is based on his/her state of well-being or health care that is judged by professionals with the right expertise. The principles of medical ethics, the limits of medical science, and the religious beliefs of medical staff, patients and their families, influence the individual decision of cardiopulmonary resuscitation
