Abstract
Health planners in developing countries face–amongst others–the following problems: defining the role of health in economic growth, obtaining recognition of the effects of ill health upon economic development, and quantifying health benefits. Three examples of these problems stated in simple health and economic terms are developed in this paper: production function, health expenditures, and investment in Ceylon from 1947–1948 to 1958; effects of ill health on the growing of rice in Southeast Asia in 1957; and the health benefits and cost-benefit ratio achieved by malaria prophylaxis in a small mining concern in Thailand in 1969–1970. It is suggested that further studies in the fields exemplified will aid health planners in finding ways and means for better justification of programs.
