The Peace Corps: A Challenge to Physicians (A communication from R. Sargent Shriver, Director) We in the United States are living in an era of remarkable medical progress. Morbidity and mortality rates are at a record low. Many of the age-old pestilences are under control, and the life span of our citizens is increasing year by year. These effects of medical progress have not been realized in many developing countries of the world. Many of these countries continue to suffer from a high incidence of diseases and conditions such as smallpox, malaria, tuberculosis, dysentery, and nutritional deficiency—long considered under control or of relatively minor concern in the United States.
