Foundation's cooperation is assisting in remedying
this situation by making possible the employment
of new staff and adding to the equipment.
Assistance is also being given to extend and intensify
the various courses, particularly those
relating to field instruction. The courses given
in this training school include those for medical
health officers, public health nurses, and sanitary
inspectors. The National Health Administration
is increasingly performing the task of recommending
personnel for health activities throughout
the country. There has also been satisfactory
progress in the improvement of public health
training opportunities, through the provision,
under a training commission, of urban and rural
administrative facilities in populations respectively
of 145,000 and of 450,000. The policy of
the National Health Administration on state
medicine has resulted in the provision of combined
curative and preventive services in both
of these areas, which are administered by personnel
recommended for appointment by the
Training Commission of the National Health
Administration.
In connection with the rural problems in China
the National Health Administration continues
to be one of the strongest technical departments
of the Nanking Government. Foundation co-
