# よりよい方法で病気と戦うために、現地の人々を訓練する事が出来る。 (To fight disease by better methods, local people can be trained) (Japanese poster distributed in Asia, U.N. Day Poster #11)

A Japanese-language photo poster on training health workers. Eight men, most in white coats, bend over a laboratory instrument beneath a banner with the WHO emblem and a wall map. The text says fighting mass disease needs many doctors and facilities, that WHO experts helped set up model training centres, and that in Istanbul 450 doctors and 500 nurses were taught current techniques. The tell is transfer: the WHO emblem and the Istanbul figures lend authority to the training claim.

To fight disease by better methods, local people can be trained.

To fight mass diseases, many doctors and suitable medical facilities are needed. To assist countries in this respect, a team of WHO experts helped establish model centres (model training institutes) in various places. For example, in Istanbul, Turkey, 450 doctors and 500 nurses were taught the latest techniques. Such model centres are now training places for health personnel who gather from neighbouring countries.
