Abstract
This study examines the demand for Ear, Nose and Throat doctors and substitution personnel in Nakhon Nayok province, Thailand, based on the referral system. A field survey was conducted to test a model for estimating this demand.
Based upon the results of this study, it is concluded that:
1) Though most people are correctly diagnosed there is red tape in getting health services from government facilities. Therefore, they prefer medicine from drug stores or packaged drugs for self-treatment.
2) Otolaryngological diseases are not serious but they require several visits a year to a physician.
3) It was estimated that 84 otolaryngologists were needed, or a team to care for otolaryngological patients in Nakhon Nayok that should comprise 2 otolaryngologists, 11 general physicians, 64 nurses, and 630 village health volunteers. In this case 84 otolaryngologists can be substituted by 2 otolayngologists, 11 general physicians, 64 nurses and 630 village health volunteers. Thus, we would place 2 otolaryngologists in the provincial hospital, 5 or 6 general physicians at each district hospital, approximately 1 nurse at each of the subdistrict health stations and 1 or 2 village health volunteers for each village.
