| Abstract: | (CIT): The National Library of Medicine, the world's largest medical library and a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), will open a new interactive exhibition, "Against the Odds: Making a Difference in Global Health" with a special program Wednesday, April 16th, 10:00-11:00 AM in Lister Hill Auditorium, Building 38A, on the NIH campus in Bethesda. The exhibition opens to the public April 17th. "Against the Odds" presents stories as varied as the public health problems posed by Hurricane Katrina to a successful campaign for oral rehydration in Bangladesh, from "barefoot doctors" in China, to the model health center in South Africa, which inspired the community health center movement in the U.S. Throughout, harnessing the best of 21st century technology, engaging text and graphics, and interesting objects, "Against the Odds" focuses on how individuals and communities, in collaboration with scientists, advocates, governments and international organizations, have made and are making a difference in the health of people around the globe. |
