Tropical Medicine (TM)

Tropical medicine plays a significant role in harmonising humanity with nature by addressing the interconnectedness of human health, animal health, and the health of ecosystems. It focuses on understanding and combating diseases prevalent in tropical regions, where environmental factors and human activities can lead to the spread of infectious diseases. By studying and addressing these diseases, tropical medicine contributes to global health security and the overall well-being of communities, and ecosystems on a global scale. Furthermore, advancements in tropical medicine research and interventions can lead to improved healthcare systems, disease prevention, and better management of emerging infectious diseases, ultimately promoting harmonising humanity with nature.
