Thanks for the quick response. My itinerary: 4-9 Dimapur, 10-12 Delhi, 13-17 Bangalore/ Chennai. If it's not possible to meet physically, let's continue communicating online.<br />

Dear Gaston,<br />
I have already acquired the wonderful tool and we are in the process of assessing the preparedness for Influenza A pandemic.<br />
Incidentally I was in DIMAPUR last November(in the extreme east of the country) to facilitate mainstreaming of HIV/AIDS with all the government departments of the state government as invited by them and the NACO /UNAIDS.<br />

.I,however, work in th western most state of India with no immediate plans of visiting this cities in the near future(I was in Delhi in the last week).<br />

Dear Rajesh, testing the self-assessment tool in India would be a great idea. I was one of the coaches that facilitated the development of this draft framework on Human Influenza Pandemic Preparedness and it can generate a very valuable discussion (going beyond swine flu) in a community.<br />
<br />
I'll be in India for the next two weeks (leaving tonight). I'll be in Kolkata, Dimapur, Delhi and Bangalore. Are you anywhere near these places so we could meet and discuss further on using the approach/ tool…

Dear JL,<br />
<br />
I really don't know why these virual meetings give me a feeling of having 'known' you for umpteen years.<br />
<br />
We in India have always had a system where the 'patients' are made totally dependent on the prescribers of medicines.The language used in the prescription is not just Latin and Greek but akin to pure heiroglyphics intelligble only to the 'blessed few'.<br />
<br />

<br />
We started a 'movement' induring my days in the medical school to use full sentences in the client's own language with drawings of tablets /capsules in the number they have to be taken in a day.There was a tremendous improvement in adherence( I don't prefer the word compliance) to the precribed drugs besides building up of good rapport with the physicain who was seen as a friend ,counsellor and faciltator of medical treatment rather than just a Mr/Ms.Treat All,Heal All-almost a demi-god.<br />
<br />
We would definitely like to test self assessment for Human Influenza Pandemmic Preparedness here.<br />
<br />

Dear Dr Gopal,<br />
<br />
What makes people who never met think in harmony?<br />
You give such a clear example of the need to distinguish between the health system where the key decision maker is the individual within the family and the community, and the health care system, where the "prescribor" seems him:herself as calling the shots.<br />
