State welcome


Students and staff enjoyed gracious welcomes Monday, first at the China national CDC in Beijing in the morning, where they met with several epidemiology division officials and watched a real-time Internet report on hundreds of new measles cases in the area they were headed to, Tianjin. Arriving there at that provincial CDC in the afternoon, SPH staff were given a state welcome and seated at a table with division heads to hear about projects students would be assigned to for the rest of the week: visiting children who have recovered from measles in their homes, visiting hospitals, monitoring rural drinking water, engaging in health education sessions with rural mothers, and working on immunization programs.
