PRIMARY HEALTH
“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. ”
“WHO, 1978
What is primary health
care
Primary health care is
essential health care made
universally accessible to
individuals and acceptable
to them, through full
participation and at a cost
the community and
country can afford
Primary HealthCare is different in
each community depending upon
Needs of the residents
Availability of health care
providers
The communities
geographic location
Proximity to other health
care services in the area.
Goal:
The global goal as stated in the
Alma Ata Declaration is Health
for All by the year 2000 through
self-reliance.
Health begins at home, in schools
and in the workplace because it
is there where people live and
work that health is made or
broken.
It also means that people will
use better approaches than
they do now for preventing
diseases and alleviating
unavoidable disease and
disability and have better
ways of growing up, growing
old and dying gracefully.
.
It also means that here will be
even distribution among the
population of whatever resources
for health are available.
It means that essential health
services will be accessible to all
individuals and families in an
acceptable and affordable way
Levels of Care
Primary health care
Secondary health
care
Tertiary health care
Characteristics of Primary Health Care
1.Stresses prevention rather
than cure.
2.Relies on home self-help,
community participation and
technology that the people
find acceptable, appropriate
and affordable.
3.Combines modern, scientific
knowledge and feasible health
technology with acceptable,
effective traditional healing
practices.
4.Should be shaped around the
life patterns of the population.
5.Should both meet the needs of
the local community and be an
integral part of the national
health care system.
6.Should be formulated and
implemented with involvement of
the local population
The Basic Requirements for Sound
PHC (the 8 A’s and the 3 C’s)
