Re: MedicaMundi Magazine
Dear Reader,
I am writing to inform you about an important decision that has been made regarding our scientific publication Medicamundi. As you know, we have been issuing Medicamundi for over 50 years to provide the healthcare community with the results of scientific research performed by peers all over the world.
Medicamundi has always been one of the first publications to inform you about many of the extraordinary developments in healthcare technology and in medical imaging, specifically. Over the years, our readership surveys and your letters have confirmed how much you appreciate Medicamundi as a source of information about important advances in your profession.
At the same time we understand that as a healthcare professional you are confronted with more and more information and less time for reading it. You have to set your priorities for the media you receive carefully. These trends led us to change our approach to communicating scientific information.
Earlier this year, we made the decision to expand our online presence with the launch of GetInsideHealth.com, a Philips sponsored website. GetInsideHealth is an educational website offering independent news and reviews on noteworthy developments and innovations in cardiology, oncology, radiology, and OBGYN. It also features peer-reviewed articles provided by various contributors, including Excerpta Medica, Elsevier and GNM Healthcare.
Our future efforts will be spent on broadening your access to online healthcare discussion groups, on forums like LinkedIn, that offer a wealth of information on issues important to your practice.
As a result, this will be the last issue of Medicamundi produced by Philips Healthcare. In appreciation of your support of this valued publication, fifteen years of Medicamundi back issues will still be accessible from our healthcare site at www.philips.com/medicamundi.
The spirit of community fostered by Medicamundi can continue to grow and thrive on LinkedIn and GetInsideHealth. So please register for your free subscription to this platform today at GetInsideHealth.com.
Should you have questions or remarks about this development, please do not hesitate to contact us by sending an email to medical@philips.com.
Sincerely
Eric Z. Silfen, MD, FACEP
Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer
