Proteus is the best way to import information to GNU Health. However I
understand your point of trying to import the file from the client.

Basically, "Services" is the English, human readable representation of
the actual value. You need to use the actual value at the model level. 

Also, if things have not changed much... the CSV import did not handle
relational fields either.

So, because of that (and other technical reasons), I just use proteus
for batch input.

PS: I have just replied to "health" mailing list, to avoid
cross-posting.

All the best
