The Third World Health Assembly met in Geneva from May 8 to May 27, 1950. Notice of Poland's decision to withdraw from WHO was received August 15 by the Director-General (Dr. Brock Chisholm). By its action, Poland became the tenth member to withdraw. However the Third Assembly did not officially accept the resignations as there was no provision for withdrawal in the WHO Charter and asked that the decisions be reconsidered.

And Training

Over the years comparisons have been drawn between the impoverished people of Asia, Africa and South America, the socalled Third World, and Aboriginal communities, and it has been claimed by some that Aboriginies live in Third World conditions and share Third World health problems. Those claims have been strongly rebutted by others, who point out that Aborigines are not nearly so badly off - they get welfare and various benefits unheard of in the Third World. These people usually add that some Aborigines even have land rights.

Arguments are presented for utilizing local product development as an appropriate way to solve many of the current medical problems of the Third World. Guidelines for selecting problems amenable to this approach are provided, and the risks attendant on such an activity outlined. It is suggested that organizations such as the World Health Organization can encourage this approach by helping to provide training in product development and by providing consulting services for organizations in the developing world.

The Third World

The World Health Organization’s expanded programme on immunization demands the use of stabilized vaccines, especially in countries in which the ambient temperatures are high. Although much is known about the stability of DPT, BCG, measles and poliomyelitis vaccines when stored in the domestic refrigerator at between 2 and 8 °C, little is known of their stability when exposed to higher temperatures. The conditions of storage and transport of vaccine in the developing countries are presented and the types of refrigerators forming the cold chain in these countries are outlined. Finally a simplified immunization schedule suitable for the Third World is presented.

The Third World

Industrialized food production appeared in 1856, pioneered by Borden in the US, Liebig in Germany, Nestlé in Switzerland, and Mellin in the UK. Their products differed remarkably and deviated from human and cow’s milk while physicians discussed the importance of minute variations in protein, fat, or carbohydrates. Proprietary formulas were free of bacteria, and the companies prospered from mass production, international marketing, and aggressive advertising. From 1932 onwards, medical societies restricted advertising to the laity. In 1939, Williams in Singapore and in 1970, Jelliffe in Jamaica suspected that commercial formula may increase infant mortality in the Third World. Breastfeeding continued to decline during the early 20th century, falling below 10% in 1970 in the US. The Swiss ‘Third World Group’ and the US ‘Infant Formula Action Coalition’ linked infant mortality and industry marketing in the Third World. The controversy of 1970–1984 led to the World Health Organization Code, which regulated the advertising and marketing of baby food. This was one of several public health statements contributing to the resurgence of breastfeeding.
