Romania's medical care system is in a mess. A number of Western charities are assisting with items like drugs, dressings and instruments; one area that nobody is yet doing much about is information. Romanian medical staff are asking for medical textbooks; these don't have to be the latest editions - they suggest that when you upgrade standard references to the latest edition, you send them the immediately superseded one. English- language stuff is fine; French or German would do too. They are being collected by a group based in Edinburgh, who have the transport to get them to medical personnel in Romania. Send them to: Sally Wood, Edinburgh University Library, George Square, Edinburgh, Scotland. (She doesn't know I'm posting this; my contact with the group is via their truckdriver). It would be useful if someone could act as a collection point in North America. Any volunteers?
