************************************************************************* * ---------- Posting of Particular Interest to Candian Sites ---------- * ************************************************************************* 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: Vic Neufeld, M.D., McMaster University tel: (905) 525-9140, ext. 22033 fax: (905) 525-1445 E-mail: [log in to unmask] ****************************************************************************** Vic Neufeld Internet: [log in to unmask] Faculty of Health Sciences, Voice: (905) 525-9140 x 22033,22067 McMaster University, HSC 3N44 Fax: (905) 525-1445 Hamilton,ON,Canada L8N 3Z5
