In the last decade new techniques have transformed the art of medicine.
Certain diseases have developed new strains which are proving resistant to known drugs. Other diseases which were believed to be vanishing are proving surprisingly persistent. Professor Maurice Backett believes we should consider these as ' new diseases.'
In this programme leading consultants talk about the diseases in which they specialise and how medical science is combating them. The specialists also advise how we should protect ourselves against these ailments, while patients describe their experiences. Among the diseases discussed are coronaries, bronchitis, lung cancer, ulceration, mental illness and venereal disease. Compiled and narrated by TONY VAN DEN BERGH
