Abstract

The 1st Hospital Meeting took place on 16 Mar­ch 1996, under the theme "Diabetic Foot': lt ga­thered in Coimbra eighteen doctors of different specialities, who spend a major part of their professional lives dealing with this situation. From that informal exchange of knowledge and personal experience, with sharing of successes and failures, a collection of points has resulted, upon which they were all agreed and that are presented in this paper, together with the recent opinions of severa[ authors who also support them. This paper is mainly meant to be a practi­ cal help to those who fight against that social problem in our country.
