While Virchow believed that the “physician was the natural advocate for the poor,” Engels argued for the elimination of poverty through the elimination of class divisions Engels was the first to connect a broad number of medical and social problems to the way capitalism is organized.

My impression is that there is a huge overlap, but i cannot find an online source which explains this in detail. Thanks for your time. Dear Matt Anderson

This website and our associated journal (<a href="http://www.socialmedicine.info" rel="nofollow">www.socialmedicine.info</a>) are attempts to answer your question. The specific content matter of social medicine depends to a great extent on the social context. This will be different in different societies and will vary over time. Many of us think that all of medicine is social. I am told that Foucault once remarked that a "non social medicine" simply does not exist. <a href="mailto:bronxdoc@gmail.com" rel="nofollow">Matt Anderson</a> Dear Deepak,
