The Portuguese Society of International Medicine has a profound awareness of health and illness problems, the support and support of all health policy -effective organizations, the support and support of all health policy -effective organizations, but also the contribution of the general public to the medical literacy. Only the informed community is capable of proper choices. This is our work too.
