Editor’s Notes

William Farr, PhD, MD
(USA)

As we come to the end of another year of publishing the IAHPC Newsletter, I am humbled by the tremendous amount of love and creative energy that hospice and palliative care professionals have shared with us through their writings in the pages of this newsletter. We have learned a great deal from you all. I want to express my sincere thanks for your sharing your experiences and for the hard work you are all doing!

We have heard about many successes experienced by our colleagues who achieve much with very limited resources and under incredible circumstances. We recognize this hardship and support your work. I am confident that there is a bright future ahead, but we must not forget that there is much to be done before we can rest.

May the year ahead be filled with peace, progress, understanding and continued successes!

Respectfully,

William Farr, PhD, MD

The Al-Taj Hospice team would like to thank you for the grateful donation of "Oxford Textbook of Palliative Medicine". This donation will make a great difference in quality of the cancer patient's care.

On behalf of our small and poor Palestinian community we would like to send our regards to IAHPC staff for their kind work.

God bless you and have a great day.
