“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

PubMed is essential for scientists and doctors to access the latest medical research.

With PubMed down, we can’t search for the latest research and newest treatments for diabetes, cancer, infectious diseases, and more.

This directly impacts patient care—everyone should be concerned.
