Dlunenstock Issued by THE PACIFIC SCIENCE BOARD National Academy of Sciences--National Research Council Washington, D. C. April 15, 1961 It is a. pleasure to commend the far-sighted policy of the Office of Naval Research, ;,ith its emphasis on basic research, as a result of which a grant ha.s rmde possible the continuation of the Coral Atoll Program of the Pacific Science Board. It is of interest to note, historically, that much of the funda- niental information on atolls of the Pacific was gathered by the U. S. Navy's South Pacific Exploring Expedition, over one hundred years ago, under the command of Captain Charles Wilkes. The continuing na-ture of such scientific interest by the Navy is s:ioi;n by the support for the Pacific Science Board's research programs during the past fourteen years. The preparation and issuance of the Atoll Research Bulletin is assisted by funds from Contract N7onr-2300(12). The sole responsibility for all statements mde by authors of papers in the Atoll Research Bulletin rests with them, and do not necessarily represent the viem of the Pacific Science Board or of the editors of the Bulletin.

  • Annual Health Data Report 2011
    Ministry of health Republic of the Marshall Islands “KUMITI EJMUUR" ANNUAL REPORT Fy 2011 1 2 3 4 Joint Message from the Minister and Secretary of Health We are pleased to present the Annual Report for the Ministry of Health for Fiscal Year 2011. Although there is so much data and statistics collected for every single program and services in the Ministry, this report is presented for a better understanding of the type of resources allocated for the Ministry such as human and financial resources, and the utilizations of its resources or expenditures incurred during the fiscal year. Section on data and vital statistics presents the health status of RMI in terms of morbidity and mortality just for that fiscal year. Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs) or lifestyles diseases, tuberculosis and leprosy remain the three prioritized areas, and update on activities and data are included in this report. The last section is the Cost Analysis and Expenditures for the fiscal year in selected areas or services. It is important to note that actual costs of services provided by the Ministry are not charged accordingly. If the Ministry was to charge patients according to the costs of services, high revenues will be generated every fiscal year. Because of the high rates of lifestyles diseases or chronic diseases and identified communicable diseases, the Ministry continues to shift its focus on preventive or primary health care’s services in compliance with the Declaration of Primary Health Care by World Health Organization (WHO) on September 12, 1978 in Alma Ata. The Declaration called for urgent action by all governments, all health and development entities and the world community to protect and promote quality health practices for all peoples.
