title: [The role of allied medical personnel in developing a program of primary medical and sanitary services in the Republic of Afghanistan].
abstract: When analyzing the role of paramedical and allied medical staff in the development of programmes of primary medical care in the DRA it is pointed out that not only the problems of disease prevention and treatment should be taken into account but also of the resources necessary for this personnel training. Since the DRA has a low literacy level, it is difficult to enroll students into secondary medical schools. As a result the number of medical school-leavers declines. The Ministry of Public Health of the DRA changed the level of general education sufficient for entering secondary medical schools and set up the programme for raising the rates of training of these specialists. At the modern stage of development the DRA should make a wider use of allied medical staff. Examples of such use are found in child and maternal health, control of communicable diseases, etc.
