An evaluation study was undertaken to assess the utilization of services provided by the Village Health Guides (V. H. G.) and acceptability of the scheme by the community. It was observed that 82 per cent of the community members utilized the services of V. H. Gs. for one or the other health problems and most of them were satisfied with the services. The scheme has succeeded in tackling rural medical problems but the role of V. H. G. is essentially that of a change agent to educate community on health, nutrition, immunization, maternal and child health and environmental sanitation has not been achieved so far.
开展了一项评估研究，以评估乡村健康指导员（V.H.G.）提供的服务的利用情况以及该计划在社区中的可接受性。据观察，82%的社区成员因各种健康问题利用了乡村健康指导员的服务，而且他们中的大多数对这些服务感到满意。该计划在解决农村医疗问题方面取得了成功，但乡村健康指导员作为变革推动者，在向社区宣传健康、营养、免疫、母婴健康和环境卫生方面的作用迄今尚未实现。
