Manpower Issues In Saudi Health Development

Article Abstract:

Saudi Arabia is a wealthy developing country with certain characteristics of undeveloped countries, such as a high infant mortality rate and short life expectancy. Its health care strategy is then to import and train primary care physicians such as internists, pediatricians, and general practitioners, with less need for highly specialized physicians. The majority of Saudi physicians are expatriates. Native Saudi physicians tend to gravitate toward health related entrepreneurial activities. As Saudis gradually acquire more Western dietary and cultural practices, their health needs will change also. Access to medical care is promoted for all Saudis, regardless of income or social class.

Examples of rock-hybrids from around the world include Polish reggae, Argentinian 'rock nacional', and Italian hip-hop. An analysis of the rock aesthetic to generate new identities in contemporary communities is included.
