Parasite Training Exchange in Lhasa - September 2010
BLSCP members Bill Warnock, Carol Delker (registered nurse), and Megan Newton (professional photographer) traveled to Shanghai, Chengdu, Lhasa, and Beijing on 6-30 September 2010 to lead a training exchange on "Diagnosis and Treatment of Echinococcosis" and to continue the development of future sister city exchanges on several other topics. Echinococcosis is a deadly parasite disease which is causing extensive suffering by rural Tibetans. As many as 300,000 Tibetans on the Tibetan Plateau (15,000 in rural Lhasa Prefecture) are infected with this disease.
