PHA-Exchange> Oxford/UNDP Human Development Training Course -September 2006

[Staffan Bergström]

Dear friends,

The Oxford/UNDP Human Development Training Course is an interesting parallel
to our own course in August 2006 “Training of non-doctors for major surgery
in settings with scarcity human resources for health: experiences and
prospects” (see attachments). The course is full but will probably be
repeated in August 2007. Those of you being interested in the course 2007
can contact me.

Kind rgds,

Staffan Bergstrom
