Sense About Science in the UK has submitted a letter to the World Health Organisation from career medics and researchers working in developing countries involved in the fields related to TB, HIV, Influenza, Malaria or Diarrhea. The letter calls for an unambiguous and unified voice from the international body that patients with these
life-threatening conditions should not be treated with homoeopathic or other alternative treatments. Hopefully closing for good the "field studies" that are currently running in Africa like the Maun homoeopathy project in Botswana and Jerremy Sherr in Tanzania.
Fantastic. Let's hope they succeed.
