Speciality /Research Theme:Tropical Dermatology
My research theme is skin diseases in the tropics. At the symposium, I was interested in the talks on medical economics and anthropology. Many tropical diseases are chronic diseases, so it is difficult to present the impact on health economics; therefore, we need the help of social scientists to eliminate the social discrimination surrounding patients.
