My training in Palliative Care began with reading “Introduction to Palliative Care” by Dr. Robert Twycross. I met him at various training programs and IAPC conferences in the late 80s and 90s. This journey culminated in establishing the Department of Palliative Medicine at Gujarat Cancer & Research Institute, Ahmedabad. Currently, I carry forward the legacy of all pioneers by serving hospice patients at Community Oncology Centre, Ahmedabad.
Dr. Twycross touched many lives throughout this journey. My “PRAYERS” are with the departed soul.
