A Tribute to Dr Robert Twycross

A colossus in palliative care, a brilliant teacher, scholar and one who has mentored generations of us in India. A great visionary responsible in many ways for development of palliative care in India.

Along with dear Deidre, close friends to many of us. A life well lived, a blessing to many. A man of deep faith, now with the Lord he loved. We remember him with love and pray for God’s comforting presence with Deirdre and family.
