An Appreciation of Karel Raska

AD Langmuir

Chilmark

Karel Raska took part in the first meeting of the Epidemiologies Association at the meeting in Noordwijk in Holland in September 1957. The meeting was convened under the title of "Study Group on current epidemiological research" and was organized by what was then known as the International Corresponding Club.

Raska was a founding member of our Association end at that meeting, gave a most interesting paper on Infectious Hepatitis in Epidemiology. He reported that work on the epidemiology of hepatitis had started in his Institute in 1950. His methods of recording were already the subject of much debate at that meeting and this method of investigation and control was discussed In greater detail at a subsequent meeting in Princeton.

His contribution to the IEA was inestimable. He brought to the Association, the views of a highly experienced Infectious Disease Epidemiologist working in Eastern Europe. His support for the Association, from his part of the world, demonstrated that the aims and objectives of the Association could transcend boundaries and Ideologies. His contributions to the development of our subject are well detailed by Alex Langmulr's appreciation.
