.@LucyAlexandria Watts's passing has deeply saddened me & all she inspired with her love for life & commitment to supporting people living with terminal illness.
I will honour her legacy to make access to palliative care available to all in need.
Rest in peace my dear friend.

[Sue Boucher @SueJBoucher]

@CANSA @ICPCN @AmblerJulia #cpcdialog A question for Dr Ambler. How well is cancer pain assessed and controlled in children? Particularly in LMIC?
