A Compendium of Papers on Community Health Planning Issues: Community Health Planning

摘要

This volume consists of a collection of papers dealing with the integration of community health concerns into development planning. It is the ninth volume in a series of works known collectively as the International Health Planning Methods Series. The series provides AID advisors and national health officials in developing countries with critically needed guidelines for incorporating health planning into national plans for economic development. A recognition and concern for the role of health in development planning was the central theme of a three-day conference on Planning for Health Care in the Context of Economic Development held in San Diego during May 1978. Its purpose was to identify problems and suggest solutions which would encourage and improve planning for health care in the developing countries of the world. The articles in this volume are: Bridging the Health Gap: The Use of Indigenous Resources in Meeting the Manpower Requirements of the WHO Definition of Health; Family Composition and Structure in Relation to Nutrition and Health Problems: Impact and Measurement; Rural Health Reorganization in Tanzania: The Implications of Change Implementation; The Community Health Workers: Guidelines for Training the Community to Power the Program; Critical Environmental and Economic Interdependencies: The Search for Societal Values; Health Sector Assessment; Socio-Cultural Factors in Health Planning Throughout the World; and Psycho-Social and Cultural Aspects of International Health Planning: The Challenge of Providing Health Care Assistance to Developing Countries.
