Extract

The economically developing countries face a perpetual challenge to provide essential health care. The available health care delivery systems are primitive and lack organisation and resources. Mental health care suffers even more acutely for want of attention, widespread ignorance and prejudice. The services in this field are inadequate and often inappropriate. The urge for a qualitative change has led to a focus on higher training of specialist doctors.
