The alcohol abusing patient is usually a man, 35-40 aged, married, not educated, farmer of low living standard. In both institutions of health care physicians are not well prepared for care of alcohol abusing patients whereby the number of properly trained physicians in rural dispensaries is twice as small as in commune health centers.
