In all the provinces at war, literacy programmes for adults are being encouraged, and thousands of people are now learning to read and write. Meanwhile, special programmes for uplifting the cultural and political level of our cadres as well as pedagogic seminars are being organized continually. Therefore, in our ranks the struggle against illiteracy and ignorance is the task of everybody. Ill - III medical assistance The need to provide our guerrillas and the people with the minimum medical assistance has forced us to expand our medical programmes which must always follow the development of our armed struggle. New clinics, therefore, have been established in zones covered by the war, and these are the areas that in the past had always been neglected by the Portuguese. In fact there were no public health centres, no medical staff, no health campaigns at the time when our war of national liberation began in September, 1964. The clinics established in the liberated zones are of various kinds, depending on the kind of diseases prevalent in the area, the equipment and personnel available. They can be a first aid post where first aid is administered to any emergency case and where medicines prescribed by other more important centres are distributed; or they can be regional hospitals, where a great number of diseases are treated, especially those which are contagious or those caused by parasites, where sutures and small surgical interventions can be made. One of these hospitals in Cabo Delgado, treated 3,485 patients in a period of one year - from 1968 - 1969. In this Province for example, apart from the Central Hospital, we have 11 district hospitals and 56 first aid centres with a medical staff of 315 people. Besides treating people, campaigns for sanitary education and the use of prophylactic medicines are being organized. In the southern part of Tanzania, we have a Central Hospital, Dr. Americo Boavida, at Mtwara. All hospitals and first aid centres inside Mozambique depend on this hospital for medical supplies. Serious cases that cannot be treated in any of the hospitals in the liberated areas are brought to the Central Hospital at Mtwara. The hospital is equipped with 67 beds, and almost everything is done there; medical consultations, laboratory analyses, preparation of some medicines, small and big surgical operations. At present, the X-Ray facilities are provided by the Tanzanian Government Hospital. Two foreign doc-
