Gustavo Alberto Sandival Ampuero, Head of the Medical Oncology Service at Guillermo Díaz de la Vega Regional Hospital, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“I want to express my deepest gratitude to my mentor, Dr. Janet Abrahm, for a truly exceptional experience during my recent mentorship and clinical observation visit at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. I also extend a heartfelt thank you to her entire Palliative Medicine team for their guidance, warmth, and for accompanying me throughout this journey.
It has been transformative to observe a clinical system where the patient is the absolute priority. I learned about the critical importance of early palliative care integration and how significantly it improves patient response and quality of life. Comprehensive care is about deeply understanding multiple holistic factors.
You mentioned to me, Dr. Abrahm, that your “best reward is knowing that more patients are receiving better care.” This sentiment resonates deeply with me and solidifies my commitment to sharing these invaluable teachings back in my region. I return to Apurímac eternally grateful and inspired.”
