Abstract
Increasing recognition has been given to the fact that in developing countries improved health may make an important contribution to economic development. In analysing this relationship it is important to distinguish between the immediate, stable situation with organizational modes and technology held constant and longer term issues in which organizational and technical change induced by improved health standards must be taken into account.
Development policy can be more effectively planned if both levels of analysis are considered.
