Public Health Officers: The period of quarantine will vary with the incubaŽtion period of the disease in question. On a domestic basis such matters are within the provŽince of private physicians and public health officers, but special problems arise with interŽnational health measures. Accordingly, this article will deal with international quarantine. (See also PUBLIC HEALTH ; PREVENTIVE MEDIŽCINE; HEALTH EDUCATION.)
In 1968 the Public Health Service was reorŽganized into three separate health agencies: the Health Services and Mental Health AdministraŽtion, the National Institutes of Health, and the Consumer Protection and Environmental Health -Service, including the Food and Drug AdminisŽtration, one of the agencies originally transferred into the Federal Security Agency in 1939. These three health agencies are directed by the assistant secretary for health and scientific affairs, who is aided by the surgeon general of the Public Health Service.See Also Partnership For Health Program:The Partnership for Health program was the product of this growing dissatisfaction. The main features of the law were: comprehensive state-wide health planning, participation on a majority basis of nonprofessional citizens in the planning process, and federal financial support for public health programs defined by the state planning agencies. These few ground rules represented a tremendous potential for making public health services responsive to the needs of people in local communities.
Another major public health development in the U.S. was the passage of the Regional MediŽcal Centers Act.
The famed rural public health nursing program, a unique demonstration of the value of community health and sanitation departments in preventing disease and improving health conditions generally, began in 1912. The year 1914 marked the beginŽning of Red Cross lifesaving and water safety instruction. World War I brought the organizaŽtion a rounded program, national stature, and popŽular recognition.

A health manpower report prepared by the National Commission of Community Health Services showed that the U.S. hospitals and health organizations were maintaining the ratio of 150 doctors per 100,000 population only by filling out one-fifth of their needs with physicians from other countries. The demand for health care had also created serious shortages of nurses and other paramedical personnel. Among the solutions being suggested were new methods of health care organization and governŽment support for new or expanded education programs in the health sciences. |
