Dear reader,
It was a great pleasure when Dr. Ekatharina Kuzmina, directing physician of a hospital with 360 beds in Schuja, visited Johannes-Hospiz in March. Andreas Stähli described the different departments of our two houses. At the same time, he learned about palliative work in this town of 59.000 inhabitants, 300 km away from Moscow. In the hospital, there is already a palliative ward with 10 beds.
With regard to the international perspective you will find in this newsletter a short report of the EACP congress in Madrid. The conference made clear to the participants how powerful and effective the Palliative Care Movement is in Europe and beyond.
It is in the spirit of this ‘Progressing Calliative Care’ that I send my most cordial regards to you.
Yours
Ihr Andreas Stähli
