Whooping cough (or Pertussis, the medical term) is caused by a bacterial infection of the respiratory system. Early symptoms mimic the common cold, but severe coughing spells and raspy breathing that makes a âwhoopingâ sound is the most tell tale symptom.
FHI was incorporated on July 15, 1953 when five Japanese companies, known as Fuji Kogyo, Fuji Jidosha Kogyo, Omiya Fuji Kogyo, Utsunomiya Sharyo and Tokyo Fuji Sangyo, joined to form one of Japan's largest manufacturers of transportation equipment.
The name was simplified to FHI, reflecting a broadened scope that encompasses health and development as well as service to families, communities, and nations. In 2011, the teams of experts from Family Health International and Academy for Educational Development came together to create FHI 360.
