Abstract
For more than a decade there has been no opportunity for formal post-graduate training in psychiatry in Romania. In February 1992, as part of a World Health Organization (Regional Office for Europe) initiative, we travelled to Romania as WHO temporary advisers to give seminars on: (i) the role of primary health care services in providing mental health care; and (ii) the development of community-based services for the mentally ill and disabled. Our seminars were designed to complement the biological and clinical elements of a developing psychiatric training programme.
