This article presents the contribution by two senior French Neurologists over the past three decades in building, developing and promoting 'tropical neurology' in a number of neglected countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America. It talks about the 'human, dedicational and contributive value' of these two experts who do not come from an English-speaking world. It highlights meaningful changes that have been achieved in different tropical countries as a result of their direct contribution. This overview may likely be a cause for learning and motivation to others to really work in and for tropical countries, where a large proportion of global health burden is to be found.
本文介绍了两位法国资深神经病学家在过去三十年中为建立、发展和推广亚洲、非洲和拉丁美洲一些被忽视国家的“热带神经病学”所做的贡献。本文介绍了这两位非英语国家专家的“人性、奉献和贡献价值”,强调了他们的直接贡献在不同热带国家取得的有意义的变化。这一概述可能会激励其他人在热带国家开展工作,因为热带国家承担了很大一部分全球健康负担。
