Abstract	The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), declared a pandemic in 2021, profoundly impacted healthcare systems globally, especially palliative care services. The pandemic placed immense pressure on these systems, complicating the delivery of supportive and effective care for patients at the end of life. As the global population ages and the prevalence of non-communicable diseases rises, the demand for palliative care is already increasing. COVID-19 further intensified this need, with many patients developing acute infections requiring palliative interventions. This paper explores the ways the pandemic affected the palliative healthcare system, emphasizing the challenges encountered and the adaptations made to continue essential care.
