I started this website last May when it was clear that COVID-19 was a serious threat that would persist for a long time and require news coverage by experienced medical journalists such as myself. It’s gratifying to see how many readers are drawn to the site and I thank you for your interest.
I write most of the articles but submissions are also accepted so if you’re a healthcare provider, researcher or policy expert keen to share your expertise, do reach out.
While COVID-19 is the main topic for this website, any issue in healthcare is considered for publication as long as it adds to our collective knowledge. Article suggestions are also welcome.
As a health/medical journalist for 25 years, I’ve long had a tradition of posting an annual list of the articles that have drawn the highest metrics (readership). Here, then, are the posts that resonated the most with readers in 2020; click each title to read the piece:
