Gynaecologists in general are not trained to manage terminally ill patients. This article discusses the purpose of terminal care, some ethical difficulties in management, and who should be caring for these patients. It also reviews the clinical improvements that have developed over the past 10 years in other disciplines and their application to gynaecology.
