Amit Sengupta, 1958-2018

ABSTRACT

I would like to thank the organisers of this conference for their truly inspiring need to be in touch with the ideas and ethics of Health For All, with a tribute to Dr Amit Sengupta. I feel honoured to have been asked to be here. The storm of tributes to Amit from all over the world punctures one conceit of mine that Amit was my special friend. I realise he was not just my special friend, but a special friend, mentor, hand-holder to many people, of all ages. He taught us all public health, but also organising, reaching out across political divides, across movements.
