RENDEZ-VOUS 73
Monday, August 7 2000
Nota: I met with Elif Dagli,
Head of the department of pediatric chest disease in Istanbul, Turkey
during the 11th world conference on
Tobacco or Health in Chicago. A slightly different version of this
interview was published in the daily journal of the conference (in the
August 7th issue).
Thank you Elif for accepting our rendez-vous. May I ask you to introduce yourself?
I am a simple pediatric chest physician. I am professor of pediatrics and run the department of pediatric chest disease in Istanbul. In 1985 I was appointed in a sanatorium in Ankara as a pediatrician and noticed that nearly all the physicians smoked.
