Today, during the SGCP Executive Committee Meeting, we held a condolence tribute in memory of Prof. Gunter Gross-Selbeck with deep sorrow and respect. A similar homage was also held last Monday at Dhapakhel.

His guidance and commitment have left a lasting legacy that continues to inspire and support children with cerebral palsy and their families.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones. May his soul rest in eternal peace and be remembered with gratitude and respect.
