A survey of local public health departments and their directors.

In 1974 a questionnaire was mailed to the nation's local health officers. Responses were received from 1,345, at least 68 per cent of all local health departments. The present paper presents selected summary data from respondents concerning the health departments, their jurisdictions, organization, finance, functions, staffing, and about the training, salaries, and other characteristics of local health officers. Health departments are extensively involved in rendering health services, including direct personal services (25 per cent of all departments). For many services the health department is the sole provider of essential services in the area of jurisdiction. These services include ambulatory care (8 per cent), maternal and child health (48.5 per cent), home care (44.8 per cent), and family planning (38 per cent). The major constraints to improvement and expansion of programs are perceived as limited financial support, insufficient staff, and inadequate facilities.

Thailand. Population. Abortion measure.

A bill liberalizing abortion in Thailand has been passed by the House of Representatives in an effort to crack down on backstreet quacks, who are said to be endangering the lives of some 10,000 women a year. The measure widens conditions for legal abortion, currently authorized only if the woman's life is in jeopardy or if she is pregnant as a result of rape. Under the bill, abortions will be permitted if the woman's physical or mental health is endangered, if there is reason to believe that the child will be born deformed, or if contraceptive measures prescribed by doctors fail to take effect.

Ordinance on the safeguarding of support claims, 19 May 1988.

This Ordinance of the German Democratic Republic is designed to help persons obtain support owed to them. It establishes a duty of providing information on significant changes with respect to one's achievements or needs for both the person providing support and the person receiving it. Places of employment are required to work towards having their employees provide the necessary information. The Ordinance also establishes a new procedure by which a person can obtain free help from the secretary of the local court in acquiring information, rather than bring a law suit, and sets forth rules on how children can obtain from the State support that has not been paid to them by persons required to provide it.

In 1988, the Chinese State Council issued a Circular calling for a nationwide campaign to do away with illiteracy within five years. The goal of the campaign is to ensure that over 85% of the population in rural areas and over 90% of the population in enterprises, institutions, and cities between the ages of 15 and 40 is literate. The campaign calls for governments at all levels to take measures against illiteracy and requires peasants to learn at least 1500 characters and industrial workers and urban residents to learn 2000 characters. Certificates are to be issued to persons who meet the standards.
