The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), Regional Office
     of the World Health Organization (WHO) is announcing the
     availability of the most comprehensive set of information on
     public health at a discount for CANCHID List subscribers.

     In response to the demand for comprehensive information on
     the health situation in the Americas, PAHO has collected its
     most important and popular sources into one exclusive
     multimedia set entitled Public Health in the Americas.

     The set, comprised by 5 books and one CD Rom, includes the
     three highly popular editions of Health Statistics from the
     Americas and the two-volume work Health Conditions in the
     Americas. In these 1500 print pages and one CD Rom, PAHO is
     providing the most complete health profile of the Americas
     found anywhere.

     Together the titles present data and statistics, current and
     historical information on health situations, comprehensive
     tables and charts, estimates, projections, and much more.
     Gathered from a wide variety of sources, the references
     offer a wealth of information which will undoubtedly benefit
     every institution interested in the health situation of the
     Region.

     PAHO has added to this set of reference books a CD-ROM which
     gathers over 1,000 pages of data from both volumes of Health
     Conditions in the Americas, as well as the most recent 1995
     edition of Health Statistics from the Americas.  A
     collection of over 1,000 pages of data, this easy-to-use CD
     allows users to quickly search, retrieve, query, and
     customize essential information.  The CD, together with the
     reference books, presents the most comprehensive and useful
     set of information available anywhere.

     The price of the collection is $270.00. But given the
     usefulness for health researchers and practicioners, PAHO
     would like to offer the readers of CANCHID List a special
     price of US $198 for the entire set.
