| Health and economic development are interrelated. Health protection of workers is important in assisting production. Malaria, chronic diseases, malnutrition, and tuberculosis are some of the conditions affecting development. Developing countries need to consider whether they can afford to sustain the heavy economic losses resulting from lack of health services. Auxiliary health manpower is essential, especially in rural areas. Social reform and economic development as well as health care must focus on the development of human potential. |
