Summary Although our projections are not completely accurate, due to inadequate data and crude methods of approximation, three conclusions are inescapable:1 The nation should give priority to planning new schools for health administrators and rural health workers, and to generally expanding present schools for paramedicals. 2 Plans should proceed rapidly for the two new medical schools. 3 A Health Manpower plan based on census information and special studies should be developed over the next 2 years. This plan should have input from all concerned ministries. (The Ministry of Health has regarded a proposal from University Associate ‘a group of Harvard, Johns Hopkins and A.U.B. professors' for technical cooperation in health services planning.)
