'Topics in International Health' is an exciting and unique series of
educational materials for medical and life sciences students, their teachers and other

About Topics in International
Health CD-ROM Series
This exciting new series of CD-ROMs has been developed by
the Wellcome Trust, the world's largest medical
research charity, for use as an educational resource in tropical and international health.
All the information on the CD-ROMs has been reviewed by
experts to ensure that it is comprehensive, accurate, and up to date. The topics are
presented in a clear and simple format to help explain complex concepts.
Three complementary resources are contained on each of
these unique CD-ROMs: a selection of interactive tutorials, an image collection,
and a glossary.
The series is designed for use by medical and life science
students, researchers, and healthcare professionals.
The following eight titles are presently available in the series, and
each one focuses on a disease or group of diseases or worldwide importance:
Diarrhoeal Diseases, Leprosy, Schistosomiasis, Tuberculosis, Malaria,
Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Trachoma and Sickle Cell Disease
Further CDs, including HIV/AIDS, Nutrition and Leishmaniasis will be
released in November 1999.
