Happy #WorldHospiceAndPalliativeCareDay. What if we in High Income Countries reclaimed dying? Even more important, what if #PalliativeCare was available to more than 4% of people in low & middle income countries? #Justice #UniversalHealthcare #WHPCDay25

Today is #WHPCDay25! In this video, #palliativecare leader, Dr. Kathryn Mannix @drkathrynmannix calls for dying to be reclaimed as an important and intimate part of every human being’s life. To shift from a medicalized approach to a holistic one. #WHPCD

🇮🇪 “Ireland is not cutting its aid budgets—we’re working to increase them, thanks to the support of our citizens.” Michael Gaffey of @Irish_Aid pledged €10M this week to @UNICEF’s Child Nutrition Fund, matched for double impact. ⭕ #GlobalCitizenFestival

A joy to reconnect with some of the @HospiceAfricaUg and @IHPCAUganda at the African palliative care Association conference in Botswana @APCAssociation . I spent time with them 2 years ago. The conference was bitter sweet as @GovIE announced an award in the late Dr Anne's name.
