See the article 37 million and counting

Thanks to the hard work and dedication of our newly recruited student reviewers, and of course to the authors, I am delighted to say that our collection of articles is growing. If you haven’t visited them already, the link to them is in the navigation buttom on the top left. They are well worth a look. Let me tell you about the new articles we have posted this week. They cover an eclectic but fascinating mix of important global health topics.

Feroze Sidhwa from the University of Texas recently spent his elective in the occupied Palestinian territories. He has written an elective report for us and also an article about food security issues in the oPt.  Aimée Peck from New Hampshire recently went to Tanzania to make a film about onchocerciasis. She tells us more about this neglected tropical illness which currently affects 37 million people world wide. Neurosurgery might not be the first thing you think about when considering the needs of developing countries but Matthew Kirkman from Newcastle, UK, makes a very strong case for it becoming a higher priority. Then Elizabeth Leyland from Leeds UK, discusses more about a dangerous potentially career-wrecking activity - whistleblowing. Well done everyone! Rhona
