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.
