The United Nations' stated objective is to bring primary health care to all by the year 2000. To reach this goal, the health profession will have to be involved in a greater change than has ever taken place since the introduction of scientific medicine. Important advances in educational methods offering many advantages for developing countries have taken place. The most valuable may be "distance learning". A small group led by an educationist would be involved in preparing distance learning material appropriate for health teams offering primary care in villages and slums. As a result of this training, the teams would be better prepared to tackle the major health problems of the communities they serve. In children, these problems are malnutrition, diarrhea and respiratory disease, which together account for half the number of childhood deaths.
联合国宣称的目标是到2000年实现全民初级卫生保健。为实现这一目标，医疗卫生行业将不得不经历比科学医学引入以来任何时候都更为重大的变革。在教育方法方面已经取得了重要进展，这些进展为发展中国家带来了诸多益处。其中最有价值的或许是“远程学习”。一个由教育工作者牵头的小组将参与编写适合在乡村和贫民窟提供初级保健服务的卫生团队的远程学习材料。经过这种培训，这些团队将能更好地应对他们所服务社区的主要健康问题。在儿童当中，这些问题包括营养不良、腹泻和呼吸道疾病，它们加起来占儿童死亡总数的一半。
