The Request

Many Burmese public health professionals are preaching contemporary public health practices and saving lives all over the world while many more professionals back home are sweeping the corners where they are.

Unfortunately,

• these two groups rarely met
• their experiences rarely exchanged
• their invaluable wisdom rarely conveyed

What a waste.

These days, blogs have become the media of choice for connecting people and sharing information. Increasing number of breaking news reach their audience through blogs bypassing traditional mass media; TV, Radio, and Newspapers.

Thus, we would like to use this efficient media; blog, and provide a venue to present and discuss public health issues being faced in Myanmar and potential solutions for them. This blog will also serve as a place to share new breakthroughs in international public health arena. In order to reach wider audience, Burmese (Myanmar) language will mainly be used with occasional English language postings.

This is a sample blog just to demonstrate how the real blog will look like. Blog name and address provided here is a temporary one. A "real" blog will be developed based on this template and an appropriate blog address and name will be given.

I humbly request you - a Myanmar public health professional - to participate in this joint blog if you could provide at least two message postings per month.

sincerely,
Ye-Mon
