Abstract
The paper discusses the need for clarification and co-ordination of the aims, content and direction of health education. The subject is considered to be of considerable importance as, if correctly planned and given, it will prevent wastage of slender resources in time of need. The provision of a systematic course of instruction to prevent unrealistic attitudes and to improve knowledge and use existing facilities efficiently is needed because of advances in medicine and awareness of social problems. Health education is also needed to prevent misunderstanding and lack of perspective which may result from the multiplicity of articles on health topics presented to the public by the mass media. It is necessary that all medical, paramedical and educational disciplines work together to provide a basic comprehensive programme of instruction with local variants dictated by local needs.
