GB 0120 GC/141 1956-1957 Collection 1 box Pilot Mobile Health Team Ethiopia (WHO), 1956-1957

The team was set up by the World Health Organisation to investigate the feasability of the provision of health care by a mobile team in a country without a network of roads. The project established that such a team was not viable, and that health care could be better provided by a system of fixed health centres.

The reports on the pilot mobile health team were given to the Contemporary Medical Archives Centre (now Archives and Manuscripts, Wellcome Library) in August 1992 by Dr Hugh Bernard Langford Russell, who led the team. Dr Russell added the general report and map (141/1) in July 1994.

Carbon copies of typescript quarterly reports, July 1956-December 1957, to the World Health Organisation's Regional Director, Eastern Mediterranean Regional Office, with some monthly progress reports and more detailed breakdowns of activities. Most of the reports are accompanied by photographs and manuscript maps and statistics.

As set out above in Scope and Content.

Open. The papers are available subject to the usual conditions of access to Archives and Manuscripts material, after the completion of a Reader's Undertaking.

Photocopies/photographs/microfilm are supplied for private research only at the Archivist's discretion. Please note that material may be unsuitable for copying on conservation grounds, and that photographs cannot be photocopied in any circumstances. Readers are restricted to 100 photocopies in twelve months. Researchers who wish to publish material must seek copyright permission from the copyright owner.
