The study was based on a review of bibliographic material on street children and related subjects. The findings from this review were tested through a series of interviews with professionals working with street children in Angola and with ~treet children randomly selected from shelters and on the streets in Luanda. The questionnaires were designed for evaluation of the street children's facilities, the health system and to determine street children's preferences and attitudes towards formal institutions in a context where th'e main cause of family disintegration was war. The study concluded that street children's health needs in Angola would be better catered for through independent primary health centres provided with partial in-patient services (temporary sf eeping and eating facilities for children under medical care). These centres would serve mainly children with no access to shelters and those living in shelters without health centres.
