Description
iii, 95 p.
The epidemiological situations in the southern and northern parts of the European Region of the World Health Organization (WHO) are quite different. Every year millions of people move from north to south for holidays, while millions more move in the opposite direction. Here lies an obvious task for WHO, and the programme of the Regional Office for Europe contains several activities aimed at reducing the health risks involved in these movements of population and improving epidemiological surveillance and preventive measures. The articles included in this issue fall into two general groups, namely, working papers or background documents for specific meetings convened by the WHO Regional Office for Europe and articles by staff members of the Regional Office describing the situation in the European Region with regard to various communicable diseases and the measures being taken to control them.
