| The book begins with a brief history of the socioeconomic development of Indonesia, then goes on to discuss the duties of the Training Division of the Ministry of Health, the types of schools that existed up until the end of 1963, and the training of paramedical personnel in some other Asian countries (Thailand, Philippines, Taiwan, and India). Plans for future paramedical training in Indonesia are finally considered in the light of specified assumptions, and the author claims that the fa that led to the failure to train the target number of paramedicals were: (I)an inadequate budget for training personnel; (2)insufficient understanding and interest on the part of the regional heads and directors of the local health services; and (3)in of training personnel. |
