A team of planners from Saipan came to Majuro and Ebeye to gather information and material that would be used in the development of the Pian. The District Director of Health Services and his staff provided al] needed help in this process by providing needed material, equipment, and manpower for the various tasks. Members of the Marshall District Health Coordinating Council also actively participated in the formulation of questionnaires used in a Consumer Survey as well] as participating in conducting the Survey itself. Input data and information came from three main sources: 1. The Health Service System Itself: The planners gathered data and information from the hospital and dispensaries that would help them describe and assess the present situation of the health system's facilities, services, and manpower. Assessment of the system included assessment of the Administration, Medical Care Delivery, Nursing Care Delivery, Dispensary Qperations, operation of all support services at the hospital, and all] other health services programs now existing within the health services system. 2. Other Departments with Health-Related Programs and Interests: t Input for this segment of the Health Plan came from the Departments of Education, Public Safety, Public Affairs, and Vocational] Rehabilitation, 00ates te re SRrary onar aLF Eicon aenentbeenm oe a
