Lists of health topics

This collection of lists of health topics collects the names of topics related to health (including medicine). Everything related to health, even quite remotely, should be included on the alphabetical list, and on the appropriate topic lists. All links on topical lists should also appear in the main alphabetical listing. The process of creating lists is ongoing – these lists are neither complete nor up-to-date – if you see an article that should be listed but is not (or one that shouldn't be listed as medical but is), please update the lists accordingly.
