December JASS out

JASS started in early 1997 so this is our tenth birthday.

It has gone from strength to strength and is now subscribed to in 44 countries.

We thank you for your support and will be offering even better opportunities in 2007. May we remind you that if you belong to an academic institution you may wish to enquire about our corporate subscription rates which allow for onward distribution to staff at attractive rates.

The year ends with global concerns about the lack of progress in women's health in developing nations and generally the ever-widening gap between the haves and the have-nots. The have-nots get the worst deals from the pharmaceutical industry, bear the largest burden of disease with the fewest resources, lose their health care workers to richer countries and seen to have less wise leadership.

Perhaps the new WHO leadership under Dr Chan from China will make a difference.

For those wishing JASS to supply CPD certificates, please complete the 2006 Annual Answer Sheet for the year and send it to us for review and points allocation.

We wish you good health personally from Team JASS and a peaceful New Year.
