[Qinghai official urges planned parenthood].
On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the CCP's founding, (Ban-Ma-Ban-Zhen), director of the provincial public health office, was interviewed by our reporter on his experiences and opinions on provincial public health work and his contributions in this regard.  In this interview, he expressed concern for qualified public health workers and his determination to improve the health of the people, especially those of minority nationalities.  He urged local party and government organizations to lend support to medical personnel to enable them to improve the backwardness of the province's public health work.  He has worked hard in researching and popularizing traditional Tibetan medical science.  "Comrade (Ban-Ma-Ban-Zhen) recently addressed the issue of whether the people of minority nationalities should practice planned parenthood and how they should do it.  This issue has the approval of some provincial-level leading comrades.  He held:  Planned parenthood among people of minority nationalities will be conducive to the long-term development of their health conditions and the completion of the 4 modernizations in regions inhabited by people of minority nationalities.  If planned parenthood is not practiced, a big national population explosion, which occurred in the past 20 years, will reoccur."
