Born in
Malta in 1951, I graduated as a respiratory specialist in the University Hospital of
Leiden (the Netherlands) in 1983, and since then have been working in a general, 500-bed,
training hospital in the Hague, treating and caring for local and immigrant
(multicultural, multiethnic) population groups. Tuberculosis has always fascinated me. It
is a disease one has to be particularly aware of. Awareness of the disease, a good R/
(treatment) timely instituted, and a well-organized Public Health Service are the
essentials to overcome and possibly eradicate this disease from the globe, a situation
not yet realized. |
