Background

Профилактика домино

На этой неделе мы прощаемся с нашим дорогим другом и наставником, Джеффом Ли, основателем и исполнительным директором ISSUP.

Он часто напоминал нам, что, хотя специалисты широкого профиля и специалисты по лечению действуют из лучших побуждений и глубоко укоренились в своих сообществах, они не всегда находятся в лучшем положении для разработки и внедрения научно обоснованных систем профилактики. Джефф подчеркнул, что профилактику...
