By the end of this decade, the persistent and remarkable efforts of UNICEF, and in particular its East Asia and Pacific Regional Office, will have placed our Asia and Pacific community into the potential position of liberating children from many of the diseases which today take 40,000 of their lives every day world wide, more than two thirds of them unnecessarily, and to free them from the restrictions of low educational achievement and malnutrition. The Asia-Pacific Academic Consortium for Public Health--an academic union of public health and community health institutions--shares with UNICEF the objective of promoting child survival as an important aspect of primary health care programs in the Asia-Pacific Region. Furthermore, as a group of academics, we are indebted to the UNICEF East Asia and Pacific Regional Office for its professional collaboration in fortering the growth of public health education in consort with child survival enhancement throughout the Asia and Pacific Region. UNICEF has consistently frovided extraordinary support to the Consortium in the conduct of its mission and in the achievement of its goals. UNICEF’s achievements in child survival, protection and development are consistent with the life long commitment of Professor Kazue Kimura McLaren who devoted her life to saving other lives and in service to the public health profession. Special note is made in conferring this award of the efforts of Mr. Daniel C. Brooks, Director of the East Asia and Pacific Regional Office, Dr. Lay hlaung, Advisor for Primary Health Care in that office, Mr. Tariqiie Farooqui, UNICEF Representative to Vietnam, and others who work hard in the effort to bring reality to programs of UNICEF. The Consortium also pays special tribute to the Honorable James P. Grant, Executive Director of UNICEF for his global leadership in this effort and for his special support for academic public health. The award is presented on December 6, 1991 in conjunction with the 17th Formal Meeting of the Board of Directors convened in Hanoi, Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
