This document outlines the key aspects of primary health care according to the WHO and the Declaration of Alma-Ata. It discusses the eight essential elements of primary health care, including health education, treatment of endemic diseases, immunization, and maternal/child health. The four pillars of primary health care are also defined as active community participation, inter-sectoral linkages, appropriate technology use, and support mechanisms. Primary health care aims to be accessible and affordable while addressing the major health problems in a community through promotion, prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation services.

sectors and aspects of national and community
development, in particular agriculture, animal
husbandry, food, industry, education, housing, public
works, communications and other sectors; and

national and other available resources; and to this

ability of communities to participate;

progressive improvement of comprehensive health
care for all, and giving priority to those most in need;

including physicians, nurses, midwives, auxiliaries and
community workers as applicable, as well as
traditional practitioners as needed, suitably trained
