About this work

Description

This film shows the work of the WHO in its fight against endemic diseases in non-western countries and includes footage of WHO work in Zambia, Malaysia, Cuba, Bangladesh, The Philipines and Havanna. We see footage of Zambian village 'doctors', one of whom 'cures' the sick with a stethoscope and a bible while another 'writes' notes on a notepad with a closed pen. We see research into Malaria and visit a Leper colony in Malaysia. In Bangladesh WHO work has eradicated smallpox and we see how having a healthcare centre in Cuba has been hugely beneficial. In Sudan a solar pump is providing villagers with clean water, unpoluted water while in the Philipines poluted water leads frequently to Schistosomiasis. The narrator ends by saying the WHO has set a target date of 2000 to have provided the possibilities of good health to all.
