> The BMJ is publishing a special issue on "Learning from less de-
> veloped countries" on 13 November. This aims to draw attention
> to examples of innovative, effective, low cost models of health
> care established in developing and transitional countries and
> discuss their potential for wider dissemination/transfer to
> richer countries (as well as others with a similar socio eco-
> nomic status). We published an editorial about this on 31 Jan.
> 2004 (Richards T, "Exchanging health lessons globally", BMJ, Jan
> 2004; 328:239-240) which you can read online via our free access
> web site:

> Identifying these models is not easy and so we are inviting peo-
> ple to alert us to them and share their experiences. It would be
> marvellous to get input from the members of AFRO-NETS so may I
> urge you to look at the editorial and then go to the following
> URL and submit a letter to the BMJ web site? Health care can be
> interpreted widely to cover policy/education and development as
> well as medical practice. If you have any trouble posting your
> letter to this URL please send it directly to our letters editor
