Abstract
When this column presented the paper by Dr. Lowe on "Observations on the Care of Children in Afghanistan," there was considerable interest in the rather unusual conditions presented. The way children live and are cared for in other countries of the world interests pediatricians, both because of their catholic interest in child health and the possible lessons to be learned from such a study which can be applied in one's own situation.
Dr. Robinson has been serving as Consultant in Maternal and Child Health in the Regional Office for South East Asia of the World Health Organization, one of the most populous regions in the world. India itself, as Dr. Robinson indicates in the cold figures of his opening paragraph, has a population larger than that of the 21 American republics, that is of North and South America combined. It is clear that variations within the region must be great and that generalizations must be made with great care.
