Heart failure patients will receive palliative care from the moment they are admitted to the National Heart Centre Singapore, instead of at the end of life. With better screening and community partnership, the new Heartlanders programme aims to improve quality of life and reduce re-hospitalisation. Luo Ren, Director of Special Projects at Lien Foundation, and Dr Kenneth Chew, Consultant Cardiologist at National Heart Centre Singapore, discuss the new Heartlanders programme and how it can help heart failure patients. They also talk about how the initiative is a game-changer for cardiology practice and the importance of early palliative care.
