Readers:

Social Medicine has just published its latest issue at
http://www.socialmedicine.info/index.php/socialmedicine.

We are happy that information about the health care struggles in Colombia
(our lead editorial) and Argentina (where Dr. Hirtz and her colleagues
describe how workers took over their clinic rather than see it close) is
available to an English-speaking audience. Claire Robinson and Martin
Donohue describe the public health damage caused by GE Healthcare, an entity
that also shows up in Indira Chakravarthi´s detailed look at corporate
penetration into Indian health care.  Dr. Tim Anderson offers a fascinating
look at the Cuban-inspired development of social medicine in Timor Leste and
ponders how it will develop in the future.  Drs. Laura Moya and Jorge Alvar
have completed a systemic review of the role of stigma in cutaneous
neglected tropical diseases and ask if previous health campaigns have not
failed because of a neglect of this important aspect of disfiguring
diseases. Finally, the noted historian Socrates Litsios provides a glimpse
into the Rockefeller Foundation's conflicted approach to promoting public
health in US medical schools.

We invite you to review the Table of Contents here and then visit our web

Thanks for the continuing interest in our work,
