Take something back: Contacts needed



Dear friends,

I have just talked to my head of department, Prof Richard Peto, one of
the most famous epidemiologists in the worlds. I asked for books, monographs,
journals that the department might throw away. He said that the department
could do better than that, and he offered new and important books and 
proceedings--my baggage allowance might not be enough, he offered to invite a 
Vietnamese to an international conference--expenses paid, he offered to ask the 
journals to give free subscription to certain institutions in Vietnam. But we 
need to know what work is being done in Vietnam and what is needed there so 
there is no waste.

In epidemiology, we need to know the cause of deaths in the population and the 
age at death. Then we can optimize control strategy. How can I find out what is 
being done, who are doing it, what they need in Vietnam?
