Abstract:

A prerequiste for effective and efficient medical care to be carried out by auxiliary staff at health centres in rural areas in developing countries is the standardization of the medical, technical and administrative procedures that they have to undertake. A record for antenatal care in rural health centres was designed to facilitate the selection of high risk cases. Several features of this record - which has been successfully used since 1972 in several rural health centres in Kenya - are described.
