+The Debian Med project started in 2002 with the objective to bring
+free medical software into the focus of users. The ﬁrst step was the
+investigation of available Free Software in this area and to
+accomplish the conditions for a simple and solid installation of this
+software in Debian GNU/Linux. It has shown that the Debian Med project
+has a positive effect for the cooperating upstream projects. The ﬁelds
+molecular biology and medical imaging were covered quite good with
+Free Software solutions solutions and there are even Free Software
+projects to manage a medical practice. The Debian Med project tries to
+be the missing link between developers and users to support Free
+Software solutions for all areas in medicine. Debian Med is intended
+to be useful for service providers who want to distribute their free
+or proprietary solutions in medical care. The whole project is embeded
+into the Debian Pure Blends framework as well as Debian Edu, Debian
+Science and others.
