How should we decide on the best regimen for eradicating Helicobacter pylori?

hagen last March publicly criticised Premier Li Peng over this issue.In an effort to reduce the likelihood of similar disturbances in Beijing the Chinese moved the non-government organisations' women's forum, which is taking place at the same time as the UN conference, to Huairou, a rural location an hour away from Beijing.This move prompted furious reaction from the non-government organisations, not least because until recently Huairou had no hotels, few telephones or toilets, and no hall big enough to accommodate a conference of this size.The Chinese have promised to provide enough facilities, which include circus tents and hastily erected telephone lines.Shuttle buses will carry delegates and the press between the two sites.Despite the controversies the world conference has already succeeded in publicising many of the current inequalities.Women's health is inextricably linked with social conditions, and the platform for action acknowledges the link between health and many of the other critical areas of concern such as poverty, education, and human rights.The challenge is to agree a practical strategy in Beijing for social and cultural change that will reduce discrimination and empower future generations ofwomen.
