title: Inadequacies of present health services and strategies to improve maternal and child health in developing countries.
abstract: The lack of health care to the majority of population in the developing world is a reason for major concern. The present system of health care in developing countries has failed to meet the needs of the people. Examples of innovative health delivery systems that have been introduced in some countries in recent years are given. All existing health personnel, conventional and non-conventional, and traditional should be maximally utilized, and, if necessary, additional minimal training be introduced to meet the objectives of "health for all by the year 2000".
