The Department of Tropical Pathology is one of the eleven departments in the Faculty of Tropical Medicine, located on the second and seventh floor of the Research Building for Tropical Diseases. The Department is responsible for teaching tropical pathology in the M.Sc./ Ph.D. degree programs in tropical medicine, and the D.T.M.&H. course. Short course and training programs related to tropical pathology and electron microscopy are provided occasionally upon request. Research activities have been performed using light microscopy and electron microscopy. Routine services for the Hospital for Tropical Diseases include histopathological diagnosis, cytopathological diagnosis and autopsy. We also welcome surgical specimens for research and diagnosis from other hospitals or institutes. Three electron microscopes are available for research work on the electron microscopy of tropical diseases, their vectors and the ultrastructural study.
