(m 4722200 fe) WALK IN WEST DOOR , HE A LI H (1'NTEK Director helped fight diseases in Asia III IW V By Greg Wees Representatives from the World Health Organization (WHO) asked Dr. Ian Newman to accept a job in New Delhi more than two years ago to improve health education programs in southeast Asia. Since then, Newman has helped to douse a cholera epidemic in Ceylon and a smallpox outbreak in India. "There; are many health problems and diseases that we have conquered here in the West which are still very much a problem in Asia," said Newman', now director of the UNL Community Health Education Dept. In India, for example, 75 per cent of the health problems are still related to poor sewage facilities and cholera, typhus and other intestional diseases abound, he said. Newman moved from New Zealand 15 years ago to the United States where he completed his doctoral work at Harvard. "Technically we the WHO team, members) were in Asia just to give advice to local governments. But we actually worked side by side helping them get funds," he said. Newman worked in Ceylon, Nepal, Thailand and India Conducting work shops and teaching health education classes sponsored by WHO. The WHO is an agency of the United Nations and in 1973 had a worldwide budget of $100 million distributed among more than 120 countries, he said. In Ceylon, Newman helped the government teach the people about immunization before any headway was made against cholera. : "When this information was distri buted," he said, "we got some good results. People were coming in for immunization and the number of children who were immunized increas ed." A contaminated water supply, ag gravated by a drought that further reduced the supply, caused the out break, he said. In some cases there was one water source for every 20,000 people. And it was often unfit to drink, he said;.-, '.V-; In Thailand, Newman developed requests for funds to support medical programs. Workshops were held to train people about health education, he said. In Nepal, he said he was exposed to cultural habits which adversely affected mother-child relationships. He said new born babies were handled too often by . family members, didn't get sufficient solid foods and were sometimes improp erly weaned. . ' "Western medicine and health tech niques can't always be plugged into different cultures easily. "You have to try to understand their basis' for health education because, while the methods are different, they are sometimes as effective (as western methods)," he said. Newman said his wife and three children suffered some culture shock during their two-year stay in New Delhi. Adjusting to the food was difficult because "by American standards it was poor," he said. . Matching western philosophies and logic with Buddhist systems of thought also was difficult, he said. .
