equipped with better medical facilities where they are
given closer attention by more capable medical officers.
In every liberated province, district and circle there
are several medical centres of one kind or another,
staffed by different kinds of medical officer ready to
give the best medical assistance they are able to those
who need it.
However, the lack of adequately trained medical
staff, the scarcity of means of buying the minimum
equipment necessary for even a modest clinic in the bush,
plus the difficulties we constantly face in trying to
find moderately priced drugs and medicines for supplying
these centres limits even more our capacity to give the
medical services v/hich must be rendered to the hundreds
of thousands of Mozambicans living in liberated and semi-
liberated areas.
Here we must express our deep appreciation to the
government and people of Tanzania for the understanding
they have shown and the co-operation they have given to
those whose responsibility in FRELIMO is"to try and find
a quick and adequate if temporary solution to these
problems.
In this connexion, it is necessary to call the
attention of the distinguished delegates to the fact that
in your last two sessions here in Dar es Salaam you
showed so much sympathy and understanding towards our
problems that you passed resolutions urging the United
Nations as a body and the member states to do everything
they can to give assistance to those programmes which
are aimed at helping those who are in need within as well
as without Mozambique.  These expressions of sympathy and
resolutions gave us great hopes and expectations that the
people of the world really cared for our plight and that,
sooner or later, we would receive some concrete.results
of your concern.
So far the only really concrete material support v/e
have seen has accrued to those Mozambicans who v/ere

refugees.  Since most Mozambicans are averse to bo<-<>min/y
refugees, if your policy of giving material aid only to
refugees and not to those v/ho choose to stay in their
country does not change, the population within Mozambique
will suffer for a long time.
There have of course been a f w exceptions to this
rule, and a number of socialist states in Asia and
Europe have taken the resolutions passed here very
