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

Mary Robinson, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, tells Channel 4 News that ‘the United States is complicit in this famine and unfolding genocide’ in Gaza through its support of Israel.

56.8M people need palliative care each year, most in LMICs. For children, 98% live in LMICs, nearly half in Africa. Barriers remain: absent in health policies, limited training for professionals, poor access to pain relief. Everyone deserves dignity at every stage of life. @WHO

Just seeing this now, but Zack is totally right, and this is something I say all the time—I've joked about tallying up all the money I lost by moving left, but more seriously I've had the exact same experience of not knowing precisely how to help young people who reach out to me
