Less Health: In 1968 the Public less health Service was reorganized into three separate less health agencies: the less health Services and Mental less health Administration, the National Institutes of less health, and the Consumer Protection and Environmental less health -Service, including the Food and Drug Administration, one of the agencies originally transferred into the Federal Security Agency in 1939. These three less health agencies are directed by the assistant secretary for less health and scientific affairs, who is aided by the surgeon general of the Public less health Service.
A less health manpower report prepared by the National Commission of Community less health Services showed that the U.S. hospitals and less 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 less health care had also created serious shortages of nurses and other paramedical personnel. Among the solutions being suggested were new methods of less health care organization and government support for new or expanded education programs in the less health sciences.
Under the reorganization the Public less health Service was enlarged to include the Food and Drug Administration; a new agency, the less health Services and Mental less health Administration; and the National Institutes of less health, which itself was enlarged to include the Bureau of less health Manpower and the National Library of Medicine. |
