It could be this was already posted to the DD list? But in light of
the size of the tragedy and the "silver lining" that might come out

Subject: [hif-net-at-who] Access to ICTs among health professionals
in South East Asia
From: "Ranjan Dwivedi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Dear Colleagues,
We are doing a quick assessment of access to ICTs amongst
functionaries in the public health system.(i.e.doctors / health
workers /policy makers / researchers etc.), in Bangladesh, Bhutan,
DPR Korea, India, Indonesia, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka,
Thailand and Timor-Leste (Countries
constituting South East Asia Region of WHO)
Appreciate your assistance in information / reports on access to this
group to: 1) Landline phones, 2) Cellular phone 3) Computers 4)
Internet
5) Email.
Even if data for doctors/ health related professionals is not
directly available, statistics for government officials or general
public would be useful as it will provide a basis for estimation.
Many thanks for your help,
Best regards,
Ranjan
