Subject: Health and Medical Care In Azerbaijan
We're wondering if anyone connected with your newsgroup would be interested
in issues of health in Azerbaijan. If so, would you kindly pass on this
information for us.
AZERBAIJAN HEALTH INFORMATION
=============================
The Winter issue of our magazine, Azerbaijan International, has just come
off the press. The entire issue (96 pages) is devoted to "Health and
Medical Care in Azerbaijan". There are numerous photos both contemporary
and historical. Most of the health-related articles were written by the
directors of the Hospitals, Centers and Institutes in Azerbaijan. This kind
of information is extremely rare in the West; virtually nothing has been
published in English to date about the current situation in Azerbaijan as
it relates to health.
Included:
* Empty Maternity Hospitals: Traditional Azerbaijan Birth
Practices-Dr.Tamilla Dilbazi
* Crisis of Beta Thalassemia-Dr. Azer Karimov & Dr. Chingiz
Asadov of the Hemtaology Center

* Historical Overview with archival photos from early 20s-Dr. N. Efendiyev

in 1938 and was deeply involved as surgeon during WWII), by Dr. Gariman
Garimanov, and of Dr. Yelsey Guindes (who was very active in
pediatrics early this century), by Fuad Akhundov.
Not related to medicine, but of critical interest to anyone interested in
the region is an interview about Azerbaijan and geopolitics between
Azerbaijan International's editor, Betty Blair and Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinski
(Head of Security Council under Carter) who was in Baku in October. There
is also a major interview with US Ambassador Richard Kauzlarich.
