My Photo Album - Research Methods Workshop in Beijing, 1986

The first workshop I conducted in China was the World Health Organization Inter-regional Workshop on Research Methodologies in Perinatal Care at the Beijing Maternity and Children's Hospital from 21-31 July 1986. 
Middle Row, seated from left - Dr Chen Wen Jen (Director, BMCH), Dr Osborne Viegas (Singapore - workshop coordinator), PRC MOH official, myself (course faculty), Dr Richard Guidotti (WHO faculty from HQ Geneva), MOH official, Dr Goon (WHO Rep in China), Dr Lief Bakketeig (course faculty from Norway).

Back row - tallest person standing in the middle - Dr Ahmad Ashour (Director, Jeddah Maternity and Children's Hospital, Saudi Arabia) was one of the course participants who subsequently invited me and Lief Bakketieg to conduct the same course in his hospital in Jeddah.  For the round-trip from Singapore to Jeddah, my Saudi host gave me a first class ticket on Saudia Airlines.
 

The Beijing trip also gave me the chance to climb the Great Wall of China at Badaling for the first time and I had a 'certificate' to prove it !
