The field of medical history is vital both to understand the processes of change that shape health and health care, and to study the role of health care and disease in shaping human history. These issues are especially vital in times of economic hardship. The University College London must rebuild its strong program in medical history, even if the Wellcome Trust does not reverse it's shortsighted and tragic funding decision.
