There is a need for well-trained primary health care physicians at the district level
Postgraduate training in family and community medicine has been temporarily halted, the need to develop and enhance undergraduate training in social and community medicine was identified and efforts have since commenced.

Summary
Authors: Maaike Flinkenflögel[1,2] Patrick Kyamanywa[1] Vincent K.
