And what "hollow" came to mean was a decline in the recruiting and training of professional cadres of soldiers and in the high level of spending on maintenance, spare parts and ever-improving technologies for weaponry -- and on safety for the most important weapon in any arsenal -- the soldier.
The training of substitute cadres varies between countries in terms of entry qualifications, training duration and content of training.
It also introduced a substantial increase in pre-service training of 11 cadres of health workers [ 12].
Already, based on the early successes of the training programme, the Ministry of Public Health has recommended its replication in the training of other cadres of health professionals.
We also evaluated interventions to address stillbirths through training of various cadres of health workers as well as ancillary interventions to promote their uptake.
It's important to invest in more support to Community-Based Education programs and to mainstream them into the training of all cadres of health professionals.
Also, the concern about overburdening health staff and volunteers has led to a clear division of tasks and training of different cadres of health workers (i.e. making a distinction between prescribing and non-prescribing staff).
Poor coordination in support for training has been exacerbated by a stop-start approach to training of new cadres: training for medical assistants was supported, then discontinued and may yet start again; training for midwives has followed the same pattern [ 11].
This paper is a distillation of various pieces of information and data derived from collating and analyzing experiences expressed in a variety of sources, including curriculums of training schools as well as personal communication from key informants conversant with the development and training of substitute cadres.
This optimisation involves the training of lower cadre health workers to perform carefully selected surgical tasks.
