This document discusses primary health care (PHC), including its definition, levels, concept, elements, and principles. PHC is defined as essential health care that is scientifically sound, socially acceptable, and universally accessible to communities at an affordable cost. It focuses on health promotion and disease prevention through community participation and appropriate technologies. The principles of PHC are equitable distribution of services, community participation, coordination between health and other sectors, and an emphasis on prevention over treatment.
This presentation deals with Primary Health Care in India. It describes in detail concept & characteristics of PHC. It focuses on structure, service delivery & challanges in front of Primary Health Care in India.
India is rapidly becoming urbanised. By 2030, around 40% of the country's population will live in urban areas. The extent to which India's health system can provide for this large and growing city-based population will determine the country's success in achieving universal health coverage and improved national health indices. In The Lancet Global Health, Sundeep Salvi and colleagues1 offer a glimpse into India's urban health situation by reporting on the medical symptoms and diagnoses and the characteristics of patients who sought treatment from qualified primary health-care practitioners across 880 cities and towns on one day in 2011.

The existing gross inequalities in the health status of people, particularly between developed and developing countries as well as within countries are of common concern to all countries. Hence, the need for the Alma- Ata declarations which states that health is a basic human right, and that governments should be responsible to assure that right for their citizens and to develop appropriate strategies to fulfill this promise.

ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

3. INTRODUCTION
• Health has been declared as a fundamental human right.
• Hence, the governments all over the world strive to expand and
improve their healthcare services.
What is Health Care …?!
• These are the services provided to individuals or communities by
agents of the health services or professions, for the purpose of
promoting, maintaining, monitoring or restoring health.
‘HEALTH CARE IMPLIES MORE THAN MEDICAL CARE’
4. LEVELS OF HEALTH CARE
1
• Primary care level
2
• Secondary care level
3
• Tertiary care level
5. TERTIARY LEVEL HEALTH CARE
• This level of health care is provided at the state/regional/central
level institutions. E.g. Medical College Hospitals, Regional
Hospitals.
• It is more specialized level, requires specific facilities and
attention of highly specialized health workers.
• These institutions serve as referral units for primary and
secondary levels.
• They also serve as teaching institution for education and training
of various categories of health care professionals.
6. SECONDARY LEVEL HEALTH CARE
• At this level, more complex problems are taken care which
require secondary level of preventive services and curative
services.
• These services are provided at district hospitals and
community health centres.
• The cases which cannot be handled at PHC are referred
over here.
7. PRIMARY HEALTH CARE (PHC)
• It’s the first level of contact between the recipient of care and
health care delivery system.
• Majority of the problems are dealt at this level.
• In India, primary health care service is provided by primary health
centres and their subcentres through:
1. Multipurpose health workers
2. ANM (Auxiliary Nurse Midwife)
3. ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activist)
• In urban areas, these services are given by maternal child health
and family welfare centres, and dispensaries.
4. Anganwadi workers
5. Village health guides
8. CONCEPT OF PHC
• The concept of primary health care came into existence on
September 12, 1978, following a Joint WHO-UNICEF
International Conference at Alma-Ata (USSR).
• Earlier synonyms: “basic health services”, “first contact care”,
“easily accessible care”, ”services provided by generalists”.
• The services provided are:
1. Simple and efficient with regard to cost, techniques, and
organization.
2. Readily accessible to those concerned and contributes to
improving the living conditions.
9. DEFINITION OF PHC
• Primary health care is defined as “Essential health care based on
practical, scientifically sound and socially acceptable methods and
technology made universally accessible to individuals and families in the
community through their full participation and at a cost that the
community and the country can afford to maintain at every stage of their
development in the spirit of self-determination.

11. PRINCIPLES OF PHC
1. Equitable Distribution
2. Community Participation
3. Intersectoral Coordination
4. Appropriate Technology
5. Focus On Prevention
12. 1. EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION
• It means that health care services must be shared equally by all
people irrespective of their ability to pay, and all must have access
to it (be it rich/poor, urban/rural).
• ‘Social Injustice’: At present, health services are mainly
concentrated in major towns and cities resulting in inequality of
care to the people in rural areas and urban slums.
• This failure is due to inaccessibility.
• Thus, PHC aims to redress this imbalance by shifting the centre of
gravity of health care system from cities (where 3/4th health
budget is spent) to the rural areas ( where 3/4th of the population
lives).
13. 2. COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION
• Essential ingredient of PHC – involvement of individuals, families
and communities in promotion of their own health and welfare.
• In India, this has been tried successfully using village health
guides and trained dais.
• They provide primary health care by overcoming cultural and
communication barriers, in ways that are acceptable to community.
• This was greatly influenced by experience in China where
community participation was in the form of bare-foot doctors.
14. 3. INTERSECTORAL COORDINATION
• It is necessary to coordinate with other sectors for achieving
goals because no sector can achieve its goals in isolation.
• An important element of intersectoral approach is planning –
planning with other sectors to avoid unnecessary duplication of
activities..
• This requires a strong political will.
15. 4. APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGY
• It implies the use of appropriate methods, techniques and
equipments which are scientifically sound and simple, and
adaptable to local needs.
• E.g. Neem stick and mango leaf for tooth brushing are effective
when used in a proper way.
16. 5. FOCUS ON PREVENTION
• Health services should not be only curative but should also
promote health and healthy lifestyles with emphasis on prevention.
17. SUMMARY
• Till now, we have discussed about primary health care under
the contents - introduction, levels of health care (primary,
secondary and tertiary), concept, definition, elements and
principles of PHC.
