ABSTRACT
An insufficient number of health workers are available in the rural areas. The most frequent diseases in these areas are the result of insanitary conditions, inappropriate nutrition and the occurrence of various insects and vermin. It is therefore not surprising that parasitical and infective diseases, most of them infectious, are very abundant in these areas. Suriname carries out a total community health care programme, which is an integration between preventive and curative care, with community development. The customs and cultural characteristics of the population should also be considered. Finally, a review of the health facilities in rural areas is given, which is illustrated by maps
