- Abstract:
- The use of trained auxiliaries to bring basic health care to rural populations is being tested in many countries. With few qualified doctors and nurses available, and a need to focus on preventive care in addition to curative medicine-which is expensive and often inaccessible-paramedical personnel can meet many of the needs of isolated populations. This film profiles efforts in six countries: Bangladesh, India, Canada, Venezuela, Iran, and Panama.
