Abstract
To evaluate the efficacy of training programmes for the village health practitioners aimed at improving primary orthopaedic and trauma care in our rural setting. Six year prospective study of training workshops in local health institutions was carried out using locally available manpower and materials. After 6 years the evaluation of this programme shows a significantly improved (p < 0.05) knowledge base and working skills after completion of training workshop. To avoid unnecessary complications, effective primary health care provided by an appropriately trained person should be available at the peripheral level. This training programme seems successful in achieving this goal and hence needs adoption for wider use in Nepal.
