Memo from U.N, N.03 - Amina Builds a Hut


Language: English

This memo from the United Nations (Paris, Series No. 3) concerns the disease of Yaws in West Africa, especially Liberia, and the efforts being taken to address it. The recording focuses on a health clinic in Amina, which was built thanks to the cooperation between the people of the region, the Liberian Government, and three United Nations agencies; WHO, UNICEF, and UNESCO. Dr Sinclair-Loutit, a medical advisor with the WHO, discusses the symptoms of Yaws while Dr. Meyer, a German doctor with the Liberian Department of Public Health, is interviewed about further details of the disease and other health problems in the region.
