Bulletin of the World Health Organization : The
International Journal of Public Health
--------------------------------------------------------
The Bulletin of WHO, published since 1948 as a leading
research journal, has been expanded in 1999 to include
contributions from the social and behavioural sciences,
thereby extending the journal's traditional articles in
biomedical and scientific research. The new Bulletin of
WHO incorporates two former WHO periodicals: World Health
Forum; and World Health Statistics Quarterly. The
periodicity of the Bulletin of WHO has been increased
from bimonthly to monthly.
To help researchers and public health professionals
discover the new Bulletin of WHO, we are proposing, to
new subcribers only, a special subscription offer:
subscribers to the 1999 WHO Bulletin will receive a free
subscription in 2000. All WHO periodicals are published
on a calendar-year basis, January to December; 1999-2000
special-offer subscribers will receive all issues
published in both years.
For subscription information, contact WHO Marketing and
Dissemination, 1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland; Fax: (41 22)
