Dr Hiroshi Nakajima was elected director general of WHO in 1988. Born in Japan, he trained as a psychiatrist before joining WHO in 1973. He was WHO's regional director for the Western Pacific from 1979 to 1988. His term of office has been marked by criticism of his management style and allegations of misuse of WHO's funds. I spoke to him at WHO's headquarters in Geneva in July. I have presented the interview in the form of questions and answers. It would be misleading, however, not to make clear that in doing so I have transcribed conversation which was at times extremely difficult to follow. I feel that it is important to emphasise this in the context of an interview with an international leader, one of whose primary tasks must be to communicate his views on health to people across the world. The interviews gave me first hand experience of the difficulties in communication that staff, diplomats, and others, including Japanese leaders, have consistently commented on since Dr Nakajima took office.
中岛宏博士于1988年当选为世界卫生组织总干事。他出生于日本，在成为精神科医生后，于1973年加入世界卫生组织。1979年至1988年期间，他担任世界卫生组织西太平洋地区主任。在他的任期内，一直有人批评他的管理风格，并指控他滥用世界卫生组织的资金。7月，我在世界卫生组织位于日内瓦的总部与他进行了交谈。我以问答的形式呈现了这次访谈。然而，如果不说明我记录的对话有时极其难以理解，可能会产生误导。我觉得在采访一位国际领导人时强调这一点很重要，因为他的主要任务之一必须是向全世界人民传达他对健康问题的看法。这次访谈让我亲身体验到了沟通方面的困难，自中岛博士上任以来，工作人员、外交官以及包括日本领导人在内的其他人一直都在评论这些困难。
