Todays @Independent_ie features an important palliative care project to help elderly African nuns who having served others all their lives are frequently left without basic care, comfort and dignity at the end of their lives. @APCAssociation @miriamdonohoe
Honoured, if slightly daunted, to be elected chair of the governing board of the Global Brain Health Institute . Based in @tcddublin, the Global Brain Health Institute is dedicated to improving brain health and reducing the scale and impact of dementia worldwide. (@GBHI_Fellows )

What’s happening in El Fasher, Sudan, is pure horror. It’s not war—it’s terror. Innocent people are being killed, hospitals are being attacked, and children are being starved. The world must not look away. We must demand a ceasefire, access to aid, and justice, now.

Happy #WorldHospiceAndPalliativeCareDay.
What if we in High Income Countries reclaimed dying?
Even more important, what if #PalliativeCare was available to more than 4% of people in low & middle income countries?

#WHPCDay25
Today is #WHPCDay25! In this video, #palliativecare leader, Dr. Kathryn Mannix @drkathrynmannix calls for dying to be reclaimed as an important and intimate part of every human being’s life. To shift from a medicalized approach to a holistic one. #WHPCD
On World Hospice and Palliative Care Day, I want to recognise some of the amazing Irish people contributing to the development of palliative care in Africa.

Thanks to @eilishor @Independent_ie for featuring research I presented last week at @APCAssociation on Ireland's contribution to development of African palliative care & announcement of an award by @Irish_Aid to recognise work of Dr Anne Merriman in Africa.
🙏@miriamdonohoe
🇮🇪 “Ireland is not cutting its aid budgets—we’re working to increase them, thanks to the support of our citizens.” Michael Gaffey of @Irish_Aid pledged €10M this week to @UNICEF’s Child Nutrition Fund, matched for double impact. ⭕ #GlobalCitizenFestival
A joy to reconnect with some of the @HospiceAfricaUg and @IHPCAUganda at the African palliative care Association conference in Botswana @APCAssociation . I spent time with them 2 years ago. The conference was bitter sweet as @GovIE announced an award in the late Dr Anne's name.
