If a syphilis control program is to be successful, it must have the essential elements including delegation of responsibilities This applies directly to prostitution because if this is a problem in syphilis control, it is recommended that it be controlled by the police department not by the health services In the same way, it will be necessary to provide physicians, laboratory technicians, nurses, interviewers and clerical personnel with intensive and continuing training so that the services are maintained at the level the program requires Another essential element is the national character of the administration and economic support which the program needs to have at all times if it is to be successful. In this regard, special attention must be given to the fundamental aspects of control when the budget available does not make it possible to use other procedures which, although they may be worthwhile, are expensive Finally, it is advisable to frequently analyze the data obtained in the program in order to evaluate its success or failure, to review measures of the extent and distribution of the problem It will also be advisable to aim professional training at private physicians, emphasizing the need for complete case reporting It is hoped that the above-mentioned essential elements will be helpful in controlling the disease in countries interested in eradicating it(AU)
