<div><font color="#000000"><font><font face="verdana,sans-serif">Just to tell about the 1st Luso-Brazilian Meeting of Tropical Medicine History. This amazing meeting is held at the Institute of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine of the Lisbon New University as part of the celebration of the 110 years of the Institute.</font></font></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><font><font face="verdana,sans-serif"><br></font></font></font></div><div><font color="#000000"><font><font face="verdana,sans-serif">The meeting was open by the Director Paulo Ferrinho. Paulo Gadelha of Fiocruz, Brazil, was present. We had an excellent speech by Isabel Amaral on the history of the Institute and of Tropical Medicine in Portugal and colonies. She offered excellent informations and gave us a chance to think a bit about the complex and plural meanings of Tropical Medicine, such as the colonial view versus the tropical experience and understanding, the broadness of the theme, essentially multidisciplinary, and several other insights</font></font></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><font><font face="verdana,sans-serif"><br></font></font></font></div><div><font color="#000000"><font><font face="verdana,sans-serif">Afterwards we had the guided visit to the exposition "110 years of History of Tropical Medicine - Luís Marto and the preservation of the patrimony". Truly, a show. Congratulations to our Portuguese brothers.</font></font></font></div>

The creation of this society is an excellent example to be followed by other African and tropical countries.</font></font></font></div>
