Opening of the Vietnam Wellcome research laboratories January 1991 - Dr. N.J. White.

Amateur footage of the small ceremony and speeches that accompanied the opening of the Wellcome research laboratories in Vietnam in January 1991. The opening speech is in Vietnamese with British interventions [translations?] from Dr. N.J. White who also reads out a message from the Wellcome Trust and Oxford University. Speakers and audience are then shown around the hospital wards where patients are being cared for by nurses. To camera Dr. White explains the reasons for choosing to open a research centre in Vietnam and he describes the nature of the work generally undertaken at Oxford University. This sequence is repeated with Vietnamese dubbing, possibly for a news report.
