In a worldwide network created through symposiums, teleconferences, physician referrals, professional exchange programs, embassy offices and the stories of former patients, Texas Medical Center institutions are having a very real impact on global health. And on the health and quality of life of thousands of patients who come to the Texas Medical Center annually.
Many international patients are well known.

They have come to find the very best medical care available. Like some of the patients profiled in this issue of the TMC News, many have come to have their lives saved. Through exchange programs for physicians, students, nurses and allied health care professionals, the very latest in treatment protocols and technologies are being shared.
