Abstract
Health planning in developing countries should coordinate Englneering, educational, agricultural, and medical services, and the medical component should emphasize prevention. These two principles were incorporated by the Third Civil Affairs Group into its project in Nuevo Caimitillo, Panama. This rural community of 200 people serves as centre to a surrounding population of I 000 and is supported by subsistence farming. Before the project began, the harvest was usually small, because insecticides and fertilizers were virtually unknown. A contaminated water supply and poor hygiene caused 70 of the population to suffer from intestinal parasitism. To combat all these problems, the Civil Affairs group began a health education programme, using films, pamphlets, and lectures, and set up productive farming techniques in an experimental garden. They also brought in Englneers who devised a rainwater collection system. Although it was too early to evaluate the project, follow-up study has been planned.
