Abstract: Iranian indigenous front-line health workers (FLHW) were locally trained to deliver environmental and primary health care services to mothers and children. After 2 years, there was a significant decline in crude birth and death rates and in infant and 1-5 year mortality rates in the test area as compared to a control area. One out of 4 encounters was referred to a health center physician, the remainder being handled by the FLHWs themselves.
