“Aftermath of COVID-19” is the title that Dr. Priti Sanghave, of Ahmedabad, India, gave her photo, submitted to the 2021 IAHPC Photo Contest. She explains, “This patient, suffering from head and neck cancer, now sits with severe pain in the palliative care outpatient department as his disease has become incurable, due to delay caused by the pandemic.” Photo used with permission.
