The “Société Francophone de Médecine Tropicale et Santé Internationale” (SFMTSI) is the Francophone Society for Tropical Medicine and International Health, succeeding to the “Société de Pathologie Exotique” that was founded by Alphonse Laveran in 1907. Its themes of interest include neglected tropical diseases, malaria, vaccinology, emerging diseases, and all that turns around the “One Health” concept. Its aim is to maintain a network of francophone actors involved in the practice of tropical medicine and the fight against communicable and non-communicable diseases in the countries of the Global South.
