title: School teachers as primary health care workers.
abstract: Staff of preschool and primary schools in Lagos attended a one week course run by the Institute of Child Health and Primary Care to teach them some Primary Health Care skills so that they can recognize common illnesses in children and provide some preliminary care before referral. The course was well rated by participants and follow up showed that the skills had been useful to them and their various establishments. The model is recommended for replication elsewhere.
