Palliative care is essential for patients with chronic pulmonary diseases, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs), such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and interstitial lung diseases, cause significant morbidity and mortality globally, with a heavy burden in LMICs. Despite the need, access to palliative care in LMICs is limited, leading to inadequate symptom management and support. Palliative care benefits include improved quality of life, reduced healthcare costs, and increased patient and family satisfaction. However, barriers in LMICs, including limited resources, infrastructure, and trained providers, as well as cultural and regulatory challenges, hinder care delivery. Early integration of palliative care for patients with CRDs can enhance outcomes and reduce healthcare utilization, yet it remains underutilized in these regions. This review highlights the challenges and impact of palliative care for CRDs in these regions. Addressing these issues requires regulatory reforms, provider education, and investments in healthcare infrastructure. Solutions include national policies, training healthcare professionals, telemedicine, and research collaborations. Understanding and addressing barriers to palliative care in LMICs is crucial for improving care quality and outcomes for patients with CRDs.
