May this be the last dharna for the just cause of healthcare worker's security. Why wouldn't the Govt fulfill such a simple demand? Is it because there is no favorable public sentiment? If so, why don't the public understand that HCW'S security greatly matters to the public.

Resilient health systems including #PalliativeCare even in crises! This presupposes access to it in routine #healthcare; but 1% in #LMICs has access to it! @palliumindia @SmritiRana0702 @kpettus @daisiesintheair

The directorate is the disability. "I am disabled only when a sidewalk, a building or a restaurant is not accessible to my wheelchair. I am disabled only when I am not allowed to enter the world around me" @AshlaRani @palliumindia. Kudos @drsitu #PalliativeCare #DisabilityTwitter
#Success: Director of #MedEd Govt of Tamil Nadu withdraws discriminatory clause asking #DocsWithDisabilities to affix photo showing their ‘deformity’. The action comes following my intervention after I had complained to court of @Tn_Diff_abled

Young doc to me... #FinancialToxicity of cancer care doesn't respect even doctors. How can we mitigate it? Pls refer to our recent manuscript in @TheLancetOncol thelancet.com/journals/lanon…
Athul Joseph Manuel retweeted
Financial Toxicity is a real challenge for cancer patients with 7 in 10 suffering financial hardship as reported by a JNCI study of 380 metastatic CRC patients being treated by community oncologists. 98% had insurance, yet many took out a loan, sold or refinanced a home. Tragic.

There is no demand for #palliativecare because people do not know that #pain or suffering could be relieved. Advocacy is the key.
Strong advocacy for #PalliativeCare can help bring about a much needed shift in India's health care policy towards integrating pall care with treatment plan. Palliative care should be available to all who are in need of it.@palliumindia @mrraj47
A long needed reform. Hope it surfesses one day.
I welcome @ikamalhaasan’s idea of recognising housework as a salaried profession, w/the state govt paying a monthly wage to homemakers. This will recognise & monetise the services of women homemakers in society, enhance their power& autonomy & create near-universal basic income.
