In fact, until 1969 ophthalmic services were available only at the Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital eye department in Blantyre. Consequently, a comprehensive I-year training course has been created to produce ophthalmic medical assistants. Trainees are young medical assistants who have completed 4 years training in elementary medicine and surgery at government or mission hospitals. Most ophthalmic medical assistants are posted to eye units in outlying hospitals, and one is assigned to a mobile eye unit operated by the Royal Commonwealth Society for the Blind. Because of the workload, the assistants usually spend half their time in ophthalmological work and half in routine medical and surgical duties. Every 3 months they are visited by the supervising ophthalmologist who attends to any administrative problems, discusses sele and replenishes drug supplies. The assistants can diagnose and treat most problems, though they do refer some to Blantyre; they also provide health education and preventive measures to help deter the rural population from resorting to the medications of traditional healers, who enjoy high status in the tribal community.
