First published in 1980 this book documents the experiences and lessons learned from 9 experts on the development of community-based health systems in rural Afghanistan who worked with the Ministry of Health in Kabul throughout the 1970s.

From the MSH website... "The book documents successes as well as failures in establishing basic health centers and training village health workers and midwives to deliver services to their neighbors in Afghanistan. In addition to primary care and drug management, the book covers project planning and management, survey research, human resource development, management information systems, and financial systems in the context of implementing a national rural health system."
