Abstract
There are a concluding summary and suggestions for improved health care. Among them research, planning, and evaluative strategies are seen as required urgently. For the improved training of health personnel, Egyptian physicians lack specialized training but it is felt that emphasis still should be on generalists. In addition, not nearly enough health technicians are being training. Adequate supplies of potable water and adequate sanitation also are needed. Measures for preventing and eradicating disease are essential, as are family planning and nutrition programs. Finally, it was found that the Eguptian Ministry of Health is deficient in data collection and analysis, health planning and efficient health care delivery.
