  CUCHID (Canadian University Consortium for Health in Development) is
collaborating with the IDRC in the project: Essential Health Interventions
Project (EHIP).  This is an East Africa-based project to evaluate some of
the recommendations of the recent World Bank report (Investing in Health),
regarding "essential" public health and clinical interventions.  The first
participating country will be Tanzania.
 
 An assessment team will be visiting Tanzania from November 21-December 9th.
There is a need for someone with developing country experience to join the
team in order to evaluate the state of the "physical infrastructure"
(buildings, equipment, etc.) of the primary health care facilities in four
districts.  CUCHID HAS BEEN ASKED WHETHER THERE ARE ANY CANADIAN
UNIVERSITIES WHERE THERE IS EXPERTISE IN THIS AREA, either in health
sciences faculties, or possibly in architecture or engineering.  If yes,
are there particular individuals with experience who might be available on
short notice to join this assessment team.
 
 Please forward any suggestions, and preferably names of individuals (with
phone, fax, E-mail) to:
