“The Department of Palliative Medicine, Dr. B. Borooah Cancer Institute, deeply mourns the loss of Dr. Robert Twycross, a pioneer and father of Palliative Medicine.

We fondly recall Dr. Twycross’ memorable visit to our institute in 2018, accompanied by his wife. On this occasion, we had the privilege of hosting a seminar, where we benefited from his vast expertise and insights.

Dr. Twycross’ legacy and contributions to Palliative Care will forever inspire us. His impact on our institution and the global Palliative Care community will be cherished.

We offer our heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones.
