Extract

The importance of public health as a factor in national development and progress is too often neglected. Whenever an appraisal is made of progress accomplished during a certain period, the emphasis is on political, cultural and economic aspects of national life, while improvements in health conditions are, as a rule, seen as a result rather than as a cause of the progress.
