Editor’s Notes

William Farr, PhD, MD

Dear Liliana 

With this little note we want to thank you once again for thinking about us and to include us in the activities you develop. We would like to sincerely thank you for the new shipment of books, journals and IAHPC publications that you sent as part of your “Clearing House Program.” We have found it of great informative value, but also and especially a great source of educational material in Palliative Care.

Thank you once again and best regards,

Dr. María Pruvost
Contigo Palliative Care Program
Cordoba, Argentina

Dear Ms Liliana de Lima,

We received your invaluable gift - the journals and publications that you have donated and sent to our St Mother Theresa’s Fund - ­ as part of the Clearing House Program.

I am truly moved by your help and support that you are providing to our initiative towards the creation of hospice in the Latvian Republic. I am happy to inform you that at present time we are conducting a registration in the Latvian Department of Social Services and in the Ministry of Welfare for the first Hospice at home - a new program in Latvia. We are indebted to you for this donation and the help you have provided us to continue our activities.

With the gratitude and the best regards,

Yours sincerely,

Lilija Izotova ­ Kalane, Fund’s President
First Baltic St. Mother Teresa’s Hospice

Dear Ms. De Lima:

Thank you very much for your recent donation of journals and publications to our department. This will undoubtedly be of much benefit to our faculty.

With kind regards,

Professor Pesach Shvartzman

Dear IAHPC:

Yesterday we received your donation of recent pain and palliative care treatment literature. Many thanks for the copies of the journals, copies of publications and monographs. I am continuing my struggle to find consensus based treatment recommendations and the recent literature you sent will be helpful.

Dr. Anica Jusic

-----------------------------

Thank you very much for the books and journals. These are always very useful for our unit staff to prepare lectures and organize seminars. Special literature, especially in palliative care is quite difficult to get in Latvia. Therefore, we start with the materials which we can get, turn them into lectures, and afterwards compile them as teaching materials in Riga, Latvi

--------------------------

Thank you for the copies of journals and publications that IAHPC have donated to us. It will be added to our libary resources for our staff and volunteers references.
