A four-man team of medical and health specialists began on April 27 a three-month probe of the feasibility of establishing pilot maternal-child health service pro- jects in subsaharan areas that are severely victimized by high inci- dence of maternal and infant mor- tality. Malnutrition, infection and haz- ardous reproductions are identified as major sources of the problem in a preliminary paper prepared by the ORT Technical Assistance Department. The multi-nation study includes Niger and Cameroon in West Afri- ca, and another French-speaking nation yet to be chosen. A parallel study is being made by a group of University of California spec- ialists. The ORT team is led by Dr. Susan Kessler, consultant to the Division of Family Health of the United Nations World Health Or- ganization, which is located in Gen- eva, Swtzerland, as is the inter- national ORT headquarters. The ORT team has been charged by AID with the task of "de- veloping an action program . . . designed to assist African coun- tries in extending health services to mothers and chilCren, including child spacing services to be car- ried out in pilot activities in sev- eral countries, working within the the health infrastructure and the health personnel and resources which exist in each country." AID selected ORT for this as- signment because of ORT's decade- long experience in developing modernizing projects in African nations and its proven capacity in planning and organizing training programs.
