A questionnaire was designed for each group. Results of this study showed that the level of awareness and attitude of physicians towards the referral system was not satisfactory.On the other hand, the health personnel were well aware of the referal system. Unfortunately, the physicians have not been introduced to the system at the beginning of their employment or during continous Medical education seminars.
