Direction: Read the passage carefully
and answer the questions given below.
When the Chinese began to develop
their health services in 1949, they
decided that their main aim would be
to prevent disease from occurring. One
part of their public health programme
was to teach the people simple health
rules such as the importance of
drinking pure water and of getting rid
of household rubbish. Chairman Mao’s
war on flies, mosquitoes and rats may
have been regarded by the rest of the
world as a joke, but the fact is that it is
difficult find a housefly in China these
days. As a result, it is now possible to
control the spread of the diserase4s
which twenty-five years ago they
carried from the house to house and
from village to village.
Unlike the rest of the world, China
now seems to have enough doctors.
Neither the city nor the village
hospitals seem to be over crowded.
The explanation is that medical care in
China is provided by the ‘barefoot
doctors’. Consequently only the
difficult cases find their way to the
local hospitals and even fewer are

treatment.
