Dear Dr Nizal Sarrafzadegan,

Thank you for your message.

As I understood the paper will be not only on NCDs in Uzbekistan but in other countries as well, including Georgia. If it’s a case I would be happy to collaborate.

Wish you all the luck.

Best regards,

Lela

Subject: Burden of IHD in Uzbakestan and Central Asia

Dear All

Prof.Jacek and I are teaching a post grad course on "Non-Communicable Disease Epidemiology and Prevention" with emphasis on GBD data in the School of Population and Public Health in UBC/Vancouver/Canada..The high burden of IHD in Ozbekistan was highlighted
in our course by one of our students who continued working on it during the entire course.. We therefore, planned to write a paper on this subject which is under preparation now.. We asked the GBD team to provide us with the contact info of all contributers
to GBD from this region, thus I am writing to all of you now. Please let us know if you are interested in collaboration and co-authoring or not?

We will soon send the figures/tables to those of you who are interested to collaborate

with us and get back to us in the next two weeks..

Thank you
