Education
-- specifically health education -- neverstops. Not for the
average citizen who has to constantly be aware of what makes
their body tick. Not for the healthcare professional who has
to constantly keep abreast of the developments in their chosen
field. Not for the public health official who has to keep in
mind the health needs of the entire population. Not even for
the most respected doctor who has been given a lifetime achievement
award, or has exhausted the list of degrees anybody can attach
to their name, or has been universally regarded as the greatest
medical authority.
In
fact, health education does not stop even -- or should we
say, especially -- for us, who have made the search and the
dissemination of relevant health information our calling.
As
a healthcare communications organization, the
MOSMAN-MEDCOM
Group shares the vision of the United Nations to achieve "Health
for all." By focusing our information dissemination efforts
on healthcare professionals all over the country, we are playing
our part in making relevant health information available to
them, who in turn shall pass these pieces of information on
to the rest of the people.
To achieve "health for all,"
we are aiming to provide "healthcare information for
all."

Welcome to the
Medical Observer
website.
Like
our printed edition,
Medical Observer
on-line
reflects our quest to give Philippine health and medical
publishing a human and humane dimension. It is our
way of contributing to the wealth of information and
knowledge shaping the world of health and medicine.
We
hope that Filipino doctors will find this site informative,
useful, and even entertaining.
To
our visitors from abroad, we hope to give you a perspective
of Philippine health and medicine as they evolve.
To
non-medical professionals and other visitors to our
site, we hope that you will find in the stories here
not only useful information but also a glimpse of
the doctor as a healer, a clinician, a leader, a teacher,
an artist, a family member, and an ordinary person.
