Conclusion
Philately is often mistakenly seen only as a hobby however, it can also be used as a tool to interact with the public or as a reminder tool to commemorate certain people, institutions, and innovations. Although fewer commemorative stamps are being used today, they spread and promote ideas, and they also act as a medium to deliver messages about particular topics to the general public.
The subject of a stamp with a medical theme may help us draw attention of many people who send and receive mail to a particular subject, through its easy-to-understand structure. It may also help us clarify and summarize the visual history of our medical practice by showing important people, facilities, innovations or events in our area of expertise.
Although the information on the stamp can not contain extensive information about the subject, this does not limit its importance. Even though the educational value of stamps with special themes is underestimated, medical philately can be used as an important and inexpensive way to present a subject or an idea as it can transmit information effectively and easily. It also reminds medical professionals like us of certain people, institutions, innovations or events.
