Abstract
For many years the task of providing health services in third world countries fell under a cloud; a fallout from the first world (“upside down” as those terms may be historically). In years past, most doctors in our rural areas had been trained in the first world or similar institutions, where specialisation prevailed. We experienced some of the restrictive aspects of professionalism, and not always the best.
