Viva freedom of press

Health has many political determinants that we as health
professionals need to understand.

Thank you for bringing these to our attention with your series of
articles on a range of political issues affecting health throughout the
world, not least in the Middle East.

I will continue to read the BMJ and encourage you to continue your
vital work.
