| Abstract: | More than 100 delegates from many African countries attended a seminar on the role of family planning in African development, which was held at the University College in Nairobi, Kenya from December 12-16, 1967. This article outlines some courses of action suggested at the session dealing with the training of family planning personnel. Medical schools should ideally include family planning in their curricula and should be encouraged to set up family planning clinics as part of the teaching facilities. African students studying overseas should adapt their learning to their own countries. General practitioners need at least a 3-day intensive course in family planning. The training of paramedical personnel is also discussed. |
