Throughout history, disease has shaped the development of societies, cultural practices, and trade. Although the modern era has heralded the advancement of medical knowledge and resources, a variety of pressing issues – such as the rise of antibiotic-resistant ‘superbugs,’ the increasing globalization of previously localized pathogens, and the struggle to access healthcare in conflict areas – confront the medical and moral authorities of our day.
