This laid the foundations for his “social epidemiology.” Speaking against apartheid, he was an ally of the ANC leaders headed by N. Mandela [ 50 , 96 – 98 ] (there is a letter from 2001 from the 83-year-old N. Mandela to the 80-year-old Susser [ 98 ]).

Αναπτύσσουν ένα μοντέλο κοινοτικής φροντίδας υγείας και δημοσιεύουν το 1955 μία από τις πρώτες μελέτες κοινοτικής υγείας σε αυτό το είδος του περιβάλλοντος.…”
