\nNew stamps honour groundbreaking contributions to medicine<\/strong><\/span>
\nSix Canadian physicians and researchers revolutionized their fields of health care<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

TORONTO \u2013 Today, Canada Post issued a set of five commemorative stamps celebrating six groundbreaking physicians and researchers: Drs. Bruce Chown, Julio Montaner, \"\"Balfour Mount, M. Vera Peters, James Till and Ernest McCulloch. Their contributions to the fields of pediatric pathology, HIV\/AIDS, palliative care, oncology and stem cell science changed the practice of medicine in Canada and around the world.<\/p>\n

Dr. Chown, O.C., MC (1893-1986) was one of the few world leaders in eliminating rhesus (Rh) disease, once a major cause of newborn deaths. Research led by Dr. Montaner, O.C., O.B.C. (b. 1956) has helped transform HIV\/AIDS into \"\"a manageable condition with a near-normal life expectancy and has markedly reduced HIV transmission. Dr. Mount, O.C., O.Q. (b. 1939), considered the father of palliative care in North America, founded the world\u2019s first comprehensive palliative care service based in a teaching hospital. Dr. Peters, O.C.(1911-93) revolutionized treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma and breast cancer in an era when the work of female physician scientists was not often acknowledged. Dr. Till, O.C., O. Ont. (b. 1931) and Dr. \"\"McCulloch, O.C., O. Ont. (1926-2011) transformed the world\u2019s understanding of tissue renewal by establishing the foundations of stem cell science.<\/p>\n

This issue salutes these remarkable individuals and the many other health care professionals, scientists and technologists who have devoted their lives to creating a healthier world \u2013 including those working tirelessly to develop diagnostics, treatments and preventions to help end the current COVID-19 \"\"pandemic.<\/p>\n

\"\"TORONTO, le 14 sept. 2020 \/CNW\/ – Aujourd’hui, Postes Canada a \u00e9mis un jeu de cinq timbres comm\u00e9moratifs c\u00e9l\u00e9brant six pionniers de la m\u00e9decine : la Dre M. Vera Peters, les Drs Bruce Chown, Julio Montaner, Balfour Mount et Ernest McCulloch, et le chercheur James Till.

Gr\u00e2ce au Dr Montaner, O.C., O.B.C. (n\u00e9 en 1956), le VIH\/SIDA est devenu une maladie chronique g\u00e9rable, son taux a grandement diminu\u00e9 et les personnes qui en sont atteintes ont maintenant une long\u00e9vit\u00e9 comparable au reste de la population. Consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme le pionnier des soins palliatifs en Am\u00e9rique du Nord, le Dr Mount, O.C., O.Q. (n\u00e9 en 1939), a \"\"fond\u00e9 le premier service de soins palliatifs complet au monde dans un h\u00f4pital d’enseignement. La Dre Peters, O.C. (1911-1993), a r\u00e9volutionn\u00e9 le traitement du lymphome de Hodgkin et du cancer du sein \u00e0 une \u00e9poque o\u00f9 les femmes chercheures en m\u00e9decine n’\u00e9taient gu\u00e8re reconnues. James Till, O.C., O. Ont. (n\u00e9 en 1931), et le Dr Ernest McCulloch, O.C., O. Ont. (1926-2011), ont transform\u00e9 la notion de renouvellement des \"\"tissus en prouvant l’existence des cellules souches.<\/p>\n
