Abstract

During the past few years many new resources have been created to improve the health and welfare of all the people of the world. These new resources include international governmental organizations such as the World Health Organi zation, United Nations, International Labour Organisation, and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). Interna tional voluntary organizations, multilateral and bilateral, are setting new standards. Increased educational opportunities and the development of professional associations are other impor tant new resources. The realization by most of the people of the world that better health, rehabilitation, and welfare services are possible and the demand for such services are also to be regarded as new resources. Most important is the changing attitudes of individuals and communities toward physical handicaps and illness. These new attitudes are the primary new resource for future work in the health and welfare field.
