Letters to the Editor

GEORGE M. WHEATLEY M.D.

Dr. Siebenthal's letter points up an important practical problem of which our Committee on International Child Health has been much aware ever since we began to function. There is a need for pediatricians to help in many foreign countries and in a variety of conditions including short-term assignments.

The organization sponsoring short-term medical assignments with which I am most familiar is MEDICO. They have been quite successful in enlisting orthopods and gynecologists for one-month assignments, notably in Jordan and South Vietnam.
