Fais has a unique palliative care system

Fais is an island in Micronesia where the inhabitants offer a traditional home-based palliative care system called hachou. These care practices involve the immediate family, distant relatives, and the entire community, while the close family is completely relieved of household chores. During this process, visitors bring special food and flower garlands while ensuring they remain calm, submissive, and cheerful.
