Abstract:
Regional gaps remain in the level of educational and medical development, and urban and rural citizens have different access to public education and health care. Policies and programmes related to resource allocation were selected for review. Priority should be given to development in frontier and ethnic areas, populated counties and areas which are lacking in education and medical resources. Efforts should be made to partner with higher learning institutes in providing joint training and to increase the recruitment of educated personnel so as to increase the proportion of public health workers and nursing personnel.
