XV V. | PHILOSOPHY IN DEVELOPMENT OF GOALS AND OBJECTIVES AND PRIORITY SETTING: In the development of goals and objectives and in the setting of € priorities for the Marshall District Five-Year Comprehensive Health Plan, the underlying two-fold philosophy adhered to was: - To change the emphasis of health services from the curative to the preventive and to emphasize the goals and objectives which require minimal additional resources, including the use of expatriate consultants. The purpose of this philosophy is to involve the general population to a much greater extent than before in the responsibility for their own health and to utilize local resources to the fullest extent. It is hoped that the use af available local resources would stimulate national pride and self respect. It is also an effort to minimize the drainage of monetary resources spent on outside consultants, many of whom-judging from past performance--have been largely ineffective. €
