Marcos Cueto, HCSM scientific editor
The editor’s note of the lastest issue of HCS-Manguinho’s (vol.21 n.4 out/dez 2014), written by the journal’s scientific editor Marcos Cueto examines the current outbreak of Ebola. Taking a historical perspective on this devastating, still unfolding outbreak, this note discusses three aspects: the name itself, the incapacity of medicine to find a cure and the precarious state of the economies of the countries worst affected by the epidemic.
“This periodical is published in the hope that studying the history of health can be of use for those responsible for public policy making and for scholars of health systems around the world, helping to fight the diseases associated with poverty,”says Cueto.
