The road situation in Ho Chi Minh City , Vietnam BEFORE the policy of compulsory helmet use was implemented on 15th December 2007. See our elective report

Hi again. Just wanted to draw your attention to this week’s Lancet Student podcast. This week, I discuss the importance of global health in the undergraduate medical curriculum with two UK medical students, Rob Hughes (studying at Bristol and currently an intern with us) and Aditi Das (studying medicine at Manchester but currently studying for an international BSc in International Health).

I have also published two peer reviewed articles today and an elective report. Katie (Catherine) Pastorius, from the University of Minnesota Medical School, discusses the One Laptop Per Child Initiative, including the latest hiccup when Intel withdrew its funding and technical support from the project. Chinelo Enwonwu, a student at the Case Western Reserve University in Clevelend, looks at the epidemiologic transmission of chronic diseases in developing countries, particularly in Nigeria. And finally, Alan Huynh, from the University of Queensland, Australia, shares his elective experiences at Cho Ray Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietman. And of course, don’t forget about this week’s Lancet Digest which highlights all the latest important and relevant Lancet content. So happy reading (and listening) and I hope you have a great weekend. Rhona
