Three Medical School faculty members left for North Vietnam Wednesday on a fact finding tour of the country's medical facilities.
The purpose of the trip is to "alleviate the misconception in the United States that medicine practice in North Vietnam is primitive," one of the doctors said earlier this week.
The team is made up of Peter Wolff, professor of Psychiatry, Morris Simon, associate professor of Radiology Pierce Gardner, assistant professor of Medicine and George Roth, a professor at the University of San Francisco.
Cora Weiss spokesman for the committee which arranged the trip and a member of the haison group which recently returned three American POW, said yesterday that findings will also "tell American people what American bombs are doing to civilians.
Doctors will observe damage to the North Vietnamese population and investigate civilian medical needs she added.
Weiss said that North Vietnamese representatives requested the investigation over a year ago and that plans were completed while she was in Vietnam last month.
