As a Young Radiation Oncologist who developed a keen interest in Palliative Care, it was the greatest priviledge to attend the 1st Palliative Care conference in India and be inspired by doyens in the field. I was so impressed with the dedication and commitment of Seniors in the field, one of them being Prof. akram Lal.

I am so happy that the last 30 years of my career in Palliative Medicine were because of the inspiration provided by the early leaders.

May his soul rest in Eternal peace.
