Thus, an appreciation of cultural perspectives regarding end-of-life care may benefit practicing physicians. This article addresses end-of-life care issues from the perspective of Hinduism—a faith embraced by a growing demographic of the U.S. population—and also reviews basic Hindu philosophical concepts salient to caring for patients at the end of life.
