TUMSPR News: Dr. Mohammad Reza Yaghoobi-Ershadi, a faculty member of TUMS’ School of Public Health, has been appointed as a member of WHO Expert Advisory panel on vector biology and control.
The letter by Dr. Timothy Evans, the Assistant Director General of WHO at Information, Evidence and Research, to Dr. Yaghoobi-Ershadi, a faculty member of Tehran University of Medical Sciences’ (TUMS’) School of Public Health and the department director of medical vector control, reads as follows:
Dear Dr. Yaghoobi-Ershadi,
I have pleasure, on behalf of the director-General of the World Health Organization and after consultation with your Government in inviting you to serve for a period of four years as a member of the WHO Expert Advisory Panel on Vector Biology and Control.
Membership of a panel is an honorary appointment. Panel members are asked to give the organization the benefit of their knowledge and to inform it of important development in their own subjects, particularly in the countries in which they are working.
As you will see from the enclosed Regulations for Expert Advisory Panels and Committees, a panel member undertakes “to contribute by correspondence technical information on developments in his or her field, and to offer advice as appropriate, spontaneously or upon request”. The panel members may in turn obtain upon request the same type of information from WHO in so far as it is available and unrestricted. Those panel members invited to take part in a meeting of an expert committee will have their travel and related expenses reimbursed to them by the organization.
I should be glad to know if you are willing to accept this invitation.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Timothy Evans
Assistant Director-General
Information, Evidence and Research
