Abstract
‘Who needs manpower planning? Is there anything wrong with the figures and facts of health care? Who told you so? There is no problem. The doctors have enough patients and enough work. The demands of the patients are unlimited.’ Every problem can be translated into a health problem: ‘Doctor, please help. My husband drinks.’ Every year thousands of students want to start medical study. So what are we talking about?
‘Did we come here to laugh or cry? Are we dying or being born?’
