Caros associados da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical,
Dear member of the Brazilian Society of Tropical Medicine,
The SBMT has just created MedTrop-L. The list´s aim is to serve as a link between doctors, health workers, policy makers, scientists and any others who are interested in Tropical Medicine.
You will already have received a welcome message with your password which enables you to change certain individual list server parameters such as receiving messages as they are posted or once a week. Messages are sent and received byregular email and are moderated to prevent excesses (Jeff Shaw, Carlos Costa).
It is hoped that the list, which is presently a national one, will become an international forum for the discussion of health in the tropics and although communications in both English and Portuguese are accepted English is preferred since it is more international. The list is an informal venue so the English doesn’t have to be perfect just comprehensible!
Messages on anything related to tropical diseases are acceptable. We hope that the list will promote open discussions on subjects ranging for observations and difficulties with clinical cases to complex or controversial issues of health policies.
The SBMT is certain that this list will be a milestone in the history of Tropical Medicine.
Enjoy it!
A fraternal embrace,
Carlos Costa
President of SBMT
