In this paper, the author stressed the needs for a central arrangement for acquisition, exchange and dissemination of scientific information in the field of health and family welfare so as to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of planning, administration and evaluation of health and family planning programmes and also to carry out research when needed. The proposed arrangement in the form of a documentation centre must collect information on health care systems as their main functions so that the information and documentational needs for the education and training of health personnel are rationally developed in the context of present and future health needs and demands.
