PHA-Exch> New Issue of Social Medicine Published

[Claudio Schuftan]

From: Matthew Anderson bronxdoc at gmail.com

Social Medicine has just published its latest issue at
www.socialmedicine.org. We invite you to review the Table of Contents here
and then visit our web site to review articles and items of interest.

We are proud to be publishing 5 papers about different progressive health
reforms in Latin America - in Brazil, Venezuela, Uruguay, Bogota and Mexico
City.  We believe Fernando Borgia's paper is the first English-language
description of the Uruguayan reforms.

American readers may be particularly interested in the account by two US
students of their experiences studying medicine in Havana,  Cuba.

Thanks for the continuing interest in our work,
Matthew Anderson
