(2022-02-05). [Correspondence] A just memory. thelancet.com Richard Horton's Offline1 makes for thought-provoking reading but gives a cynical and unbalanced view of the enterprise of tropical medicine. To portray tropical medicine as merely a service to the White colonialists and therefore fundamentally racist, even in the early days of the British empire in Africa, is to ignore the selflessness of many of its practitioners. Many of the great figures of tropical medicine were motivated by a desire to solve the health problems of African people, not merely to provide health care for the governing elite.
