| Abstract: | The Integrated Health Services Project, part of Nepal's current 5-year development plan, will aim at minimal health services to the maximum number of people. The project plans to provide for basic health needs through home visits by village health workers. The object is to stem high mortality particularly of mothers and infants through home nutrition, immunization, and teaching oral rehydration techniques, and induce a decline in fertility with conventional devices and ad hoc sterilization camps. The health aides will number 1/3000-5000 people who will visit villages with materials and a 12-point health message. 1 implement is an armband to measure the circumference of children's arms to diagnose nutritional status. |
