.@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.

#Palliative care for older persons is a #humanright and not a privilege. @UN_HRC Resolution 48/3 implores “all States to take measures to protect the human rights of older persons in the provision of long-term support and palliative care services.” @EqualAgeingNCL @PolicyNCL

[Mark Cheong @markcheongwl]

The pandemic highlighted how much suffering, pain, and grief there is in the wake of a pandemic, and how much more there is left behind in its tail. It is inconceivable that palliative care - the work of providing relief and comfort - is absent in the #PandemicAccord.

[IAHPC @IAHPC]

"IAHPC shares concerns that “persons with disabilities may be less likely to receive needed life-saving treatment & may be disproportionately affected by measures taken to control the pandemic” and we suggest that they may also less likely to receive #PalliativeCare." @doctavic
