Welcome to the November IAHPC Newsletter that crosses continents to bring you a glimpse of global palliative care.
Katherine Pettus travels from Vienna to the Vatican to Montevideo to bring you latest advocacy news on her Policy and Advocacy page. IAHPC Board member, Professor Rosa Buitrago, is this month’s guest writer on the Featured Article page with Living without pain depends on you – it depends on everyone. Dr. Di Xiao from China, on behalf of our 12 Traveling Scholars, gives her impressions of the 5th International Public Health and Palliative Care Conference held recently in Ottawa. And there’s a great spread of book reviews and journal abstracts from Dr. Roger Woodruff and Barry R. Ashpole.
And as I conclude three years as senior editor of the newsletter, I thank you all for your commitment and support. It’s been fun and a joy to work with the IAHPC team in Houston under the leadership of Liliana, and to have the wise counsel of Dr. Bill Farr and ‘technical guru’, Danilo Fritzler, our web master. I am deeply grateful to all our contributors everywhere: from Lukas as IAHPC Chair and the Board of Directors, to our traveling scholars, and other colleagues from across the world who have so willingly shared their stories, news and resources, to the ‘home team’ (Katherine, Roger and Barry), who faithfully contribute a remarkable range of topics each month.
I wish you the very best in your personal and professionals lives. And to my successor I wish you a long and happy time as senior editor.
All good wishes,
Avril Jackson
Senior Editor
