Brief Description:
Physician Assistants are trained and expected to provide holistic health care to individuals, deliver effective, promotive, preventive and curative health, mainly at the sub-district and district levels. The training of Physician Assistants, which began in the early 1960s, became necessary due to the shortage and misdistribution of physicians in the country.
