Dr Leila Srour and her husband, Bryan Watt, work with children in Laos, treating disease and supporting the development of Laotian pediatricians to reduce childhood morbidity and mortality and to improve the lives of Laotian children (Figure
). Laotian children often suffer from multiple conditions, with infectious diseases—many of them preventable by vaccination—attacking children who already are malnourished and have parasitic infestations and vitamin deficiencies. Dr Srour has expressed her appreciation for the availability of the online version of Pediatrics in Review (PIR), which serves both as a source of information and as an educational resource. We are grateful for the work of colleagues such as Dr Srour and Bryan Watt and consider it a privilege to supply the online version of the journal free of charge to clinicians who work in developing countries.
