This lecture is based on my presentation on January 31, 2002 at Epidemiology class of Professor R.LaPorte and Ass. Professor T.Songer (School of Public Health, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh,PA, USA). After following discussion we decided to move forward on a Former Soviet Union Supercourse.

The idea is that we would have one person available in each country to collect health indicator information. Both WHO and the World Bank have this information, but is not very user friendly, in that it is in tables, ours will be in Power Point slides. Also, we can update the National Supercourses as the data themselves are updated, thus our data will be more timely. By having the health indices in a user friendly format, e.g. PowerPoint, we can get it into the classrooms of the world very quickly. Also, it will be rapidly updated. Our system this is different than WHO and World Bank, in that it is a graphic format, simple and timely. We do not complete with them, we compliment them.
