This takes us one step forward in our mission to end the aggressive intensive care that is meted out to patients even when they are surely dying. We are happy to continue what we started on 24 August 2013, on the 9th anniversary of Dr Elisabeth Kubler Ross’s death.

Thank you Dr Madan Mohan for making the discussion possible, and thank you Dr Chandran, Head of Pediatric Surgery at ICH, Medical College, Kottayam and colleagues.
